MENTAL HEALTH STATUS AND THIRD PLACES USE AMONG RURAL WORKING-AGE ADULTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
Article in Rural society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is increasing urgency to address mental health needs, particularly through social determinants of health and modifiable lifestyle factors. Although third place use, going to public places outside of work or home, is a lifestyle behaviour that influences social health and feelings of belonging, little is known about if third place use is associated with mental health, particularly among rural working-aged adults who face increased risk for poor mental health outcomes, including suicide. This article presents data analysed from a representative sample of 1,135 rural adults ages 18 to 64 to determine whether mental health was associated with various levels of third place use. Results suggest that both going to third places and engaging with others are associated with better mental health among rural working-aged adults. Findings inform the growing body of literature on third places as social determinants of health and third place use as a modifiable lifestyle factor.
