Quantifying ecological intelligence: building metrics for the green brain capital model-a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMJ mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
questionThe Green Brain Capital Model emphasises the bidirectional relationship between brain health and the environment, making it an environmentally focused type of brain capital. This work represents the initial stage of conceptualising the Green Brain Capital Model, which is essential to avoid ambiguity and misinterpretation while developing a quantitative model. Ecological intelligence (EI) is identified as a key component of the model in the literature. Therefore, the objective of this review was to systematically review the literature to define EI, its features and quantitative assessment tools, to develop comprehensive metrics for Green Brain Capital. STUDY SELECTION AND ANALYSIS: We conducted a search in Scopus, ScienceDirect and Scopus secondary literature and identified 11 articles that provide definitions of EI and quantitative tools to assess it.
findingsThe study revealed that EI is a multifaceted concept with cognitive, affective and behavioural domains. Seven quantitative tools for measuring EI were identified, with the Ecological Intelligence Measurement Tool by Okur-Berberoglu and the Ecological Intelligence Scale by Akkuzu, demonstrating strong theoretical grounding, reliability and validity. Additionally, our review included searching open-access databases provided by reputable organisations, but no indicators for the assessment of EI were found in these databases.
conclusionsAll the available tools were designed to assess EI at the individual level and for research purposes within certain cultural contexts. There is a lack of global indicators reflecting countries' EI development status and global positioning. Establishing country-level indicators across EI domains is essential for policymaking and public awareness.
