1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundConnectedness to nature is a psychological concept describing an individual's emotional and cognitive bond with the natural environment. The relationships between Big Five personality traits and environmental connectedness have emerged as a crucial area of study in understanding human well-being and behavior.

aimThis research seeks to understand the complex relationships between Extraversion and Neuroticism, connectedness to nature, and their subsequent impact on Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among Chinese college students through flourishing.

methodThe sample for this study was comprised of Chinese college students (N = 1640) between 18 and 25 years old who answered a self-report survey.

resultsThe findings showed that Extraversion has an impact on HRQOL, mediated through Connectedness to Nature and more so through Flourishing. Moreover, the analyses supported the hypothesis that the negative impact of neuroticism on HRQOL operates significantly through diminished flourishing and, to a lesser extent, reduced connectedness to nature.

conclusionThese results underline the importance of addressing Flourishing in interventions aimed at mitigating the detrimental effects of Neuroticism on quality of life, suggesting that enhancing Flourishing and Connectedness to Nature may serve as valuable targets for psychological interventions in individuals with high levels of Neuroticism.
