Promoting Nordic 'Green Care Practices'.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 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
Climate change poses an urgent threat to human health, with thousands of deaths already attributed to extreme heat. In the Nordic countries, where per capita emissions are particularly high, healthcare accounts for 4.2-6.3% of emissions, highlighting the need for immediate action to reduce its climate impact. Evidence supporting sustainable climate solutions in healthcare is steadily growing. Greenhouse gas emissions in general practice can be broadly divided into those arising from clinical activities, such as patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment, and those from non-clinical activities, including clinic operations, energy use, and transportation by staff and patients. In this opinion paper, we discuss and advocate 'Green Care Practices' to minimize greenhouse gas emissions specifically related to clinical activities. We believe that Nordic general practitioners can adopt 'Green Care' to significantly reduce healthcare-related emissions while improving patient outcomes, enhancing efficiency, and promoting environmentally responsible healthcare. Strong primary healthcare, rooted in Nordic values, can support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by simultaneously mitigating climate change, reducing inequalities, fostering community stability, and promoting health and well-being. Thus, GPs can ensure sustainability for future generations.
