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

objectiveTo analyse the relationships between park proximity and biomarkers, anthropometric measurements, and physical activity levels in a Spanish adult cohort.

designCross-sectional study. SITE: Spain.

participantsA subsample of Cuenca adults from the DESVELA project cohort.

interventionsNot applicable. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: A range of sociodemographic, lifestyle, environmental, anthropometric and biomarker measurements were analysed. Analysis of covariance was conducted while controlling for sex, age and education level; distance to the nearest park was categorized into percentiles.

resultsThe study population comprised 174 individuals, 98 female (56.3%). The mean age of the participants was 51.7±9.8 years, with a range of 33-76 years. Analysis of covariance was conducted while controlling for sex, age and education level; distance to the nearest park was categorized into percentiles. The results revealed statistically significant p-values for HDL cholesterol (p=0.02), weight (p=0.03), and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.03), with additional trends toward significance for triglycerides (p=0.06) and vigorous physical activity (p=0.08).

conclusionsResiding at a distance of up to 550 metres from a park is associated with higher levels of HDL cholesterol, as well as lower weight and body mass index, indicating more favorable metabolic profiles among those living closer to a park compared to those living farther away.
