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

Street visual quality improvement plays an important role in urban development. An important direction for street quality research lies in accurately perceiving the spatial quality of urban streets and exploring the connection with street constituents. This study applies deep learning to extract visual elements from street view images and uses a human-machine adversarial model to rate them across six dimensions (beautiful, wealthy, safety, lively, depressing, and boring). Through spatial visualization of street quality, overlay analysis with network accessibility, and multiple linear regression, it examines the correlations between street space quality and its constituent elements. The results indicate that the streets within the study area scored highly on the dimensions of beautiful and lively, this is attributed to the reasonable greening construction which characterized by the good layout and density of greenery. Such greening not only enhances aesthetics but also provides environmental benefits. Additionally, the orderly street layout reflects well-organized spatial arrangements of street elements, such as pathways and building facades. Positive visual perception such as beautiful, wealthy, safety, lively is positively correlated with plants and pedestrians, and negatively correlated with walls. It is important to address the distinct types of streets in urban planning, including high-quality/accessibility streets found in urban centers, high-quality/low-accessibility streets at district junctions with sparse networks, low-quality/high-accessibility streets in the southwestern center and Low-quality/accessibility peripheral areas characterized by outdated buildings. Strategies should prioritize improvements in street function, greening, building interfaces, and pedestrian connectivity. These measures will help enhance the overall spatial quality and vitality of the area. In summary, the findings provide data support for more precise urban street improvements and offer a reference for human-centered urban planning research.
