Impact of urban and cultural landscape heritage on mental health: a systematic review and meta-synthesis.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to understand how urban and cultural landscape heritage impact individual mental health, as well as the mechanisms through which these influences operate, by synthesizing existing published qualitative data.
methodThis paper employs systematic review and meta-synthesis to extensively collect and evaluate relevant literature. A total of 30 papers met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using thematic synthesis. Through line-by-line coding, descriptive themes were identified, and the coded texts were summarized and categorized to provide evidence for thematic analysis. The study explores the mechanisms and effects produced by individuals participating in heritage environment interventions in non-clinical settings. The study protocol has been registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42024535811.
resultsThe research proposes a heritage healing conceptual model, comprising three themes and 14 intervention elements: (a) restorative effects of nature and environment; (b) spiritual and religious practices; (c) culture, community, and identity. This model demonstrates the synergistic pathways through which heritage healing operates in mental health interventions, emphasizing the central role of heritage in promoting psychological well-being through a combination of natural environments, spiritual practices, and sociocultural factors.
conclusionThe heritage healing conceptual model offers an innovative combination approach to therapy, forming a multidimensional therapeutic network. The findings reveal the key role of heritage healing in mental health interventions, particularly by enhancing individual connections with nature and cultural heritage to foster psychological recovery and emotional stability. Furthermore, participating in cultural activities and savoring the aesthetic beauty and tranquility of historical environments allows people to alleviate the psychological burdens brought about by fast-paced urban life while strengthening connections among community members. It provides new perspectives for designing effective mental health intervention strategies, suggesting that public health policies should pay more attention to integrating and popularizing non-medication intervention measures.
