Examining Predictors of Environmental Health Knowledge and Competences in a Sample of Catalan Paediatricians.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Their close contact with the cokes paediatricians a key group of healthcare professionals for the dissemination of environmental health (EH) notions and the protection of children and families. However, international studies show that their knowledge and competences in EH matters are limited. Methods: We recruited a sample of 293 paediatricians (80% women, mean age 47 years) working in Catalonia (Spain). The participants filled in a battery of questions that allowed us to describe EH knowledge and competences and study the role of certain potential predictors on these two EH constructs. Results: We found that nature relatedness predicted both EH knowledge and competences. Those interested in environmental issues scored higher in EH knowledge, while older participants reported higher competence levels. We could not confirm the predictive role of other sociodemographic (e.g., gender) or psycho-environmental variables (e.g., worry about environmental concerns). Conclusion: Our results underscore the need to focus on training younger professionals and suggest that fostering psychological connections with nature and the environment might be a suitable approach.
