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

To address the pressure of emissions reduction in urban residential blocks (RBs), this study takes 99 micro-scale RBs in Hongqiao District, Tianjin as the objects, aiming to reveal the driving mechanism of built environmental factors (BEF) on residential blocks carbon emissions (RBCE) and explore planning strategies that balance carbon reduction and health benefits. By integrating spatial statistical analysis and high-precision machine learning models, the system has systematically revealed the spatio-temporal evolution laws, spatial differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms of BEF on RBCE. Key findings include: (1) From 2021 to 2023, both the RBCE, residential blocks carbon emissions intensity (RBCEI), and average household carbon emissions (RBCE-AH) showed a "first rise then fall" fluctuation, with an overall 5.7% increase, signaling sustained emissions reduction pressure. (2) High emissions areas are spatially concentrated and contagious, while low carbon units are mostly peripheral. Spatial autocorrelation analysis indicates a significant positive correlation and a west-south clustering pattern. (3) Land area (LA) is the main emissions affecting factor, followed by green space ratio (GSR) and Land use mixing degree (LMD), whose inhibitory effect exceeds that of traditional high-intensity development indicators. (4) Targeted planning strategies such as strictly controlling land use expansion, improving GSR, and promoting functional combination were proposed. At the same time, it was suggested that in the future, the heterogeneity of building types and more three-dimensional morphological indicators should be incorporated into the BEF index system, and combined with more refined coupling models, their influence paths should be quantitatively analyzed. These strategies not only provide a basis for the implementation of macro emissions reduction policies, but also offer solutions for micro action plans centered on residents'mental health and cardiopulmonary system protection. Overall, this study provides a scientific basis for low carbon RBs planning and renewal that balances carbon reduction with health benefits.
