Nature's heart: a scoping review of the impact of nature-based interventions for cardiovascular and metabolic disease.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 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
backgroundWith cardiovascular diseases being the leading cause of death globally, affecting an estimated 17.9 million people annually, Nature-Based Interventions (NBIs) offer promising emerging treatments to mitigate the impact of sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, stress, and other risk factors. This scoping review explored the potential benefits of NBIs on cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertension or diabetes.
methodsThis scoping review adhered to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, using the APA PsycINFO, Medline, and Scopus databases, and included only peer-reviewed studies in English that focused on non-digital NBIs and cardiovascular or cardiometabolic disease.
resultsThe literature search included 254 articles, out of which 22 studies were included in the final review. The results indicate that NBIs, such as forest therapy, positively impact indicators of cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases such as blood pressure or blood glucose.
conclusionsThe results of this scoping review are discussed in the context of policy and practice. Further research on the minimum effective dose and long-term potential of NBIs is required to optimize NBI use as adjunctive therapy.
