A protocol to evaluate urban green spaces accessibility using network analysis.
Article in MethodsX, 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
Accessibility is fundamental for the distributional justice of Urban Green Spaces (emphasised in United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 11, advocating universal access to inclusive green spaces (target 11.7) and sustainable transport (target 11.2). Traditionally focused on walking access, the accessibility assessment for UGS increasingly considers different modes of transport, although it often remains city-specific. Few cross-country comparisons have been based on Euclidean distance, ignoring physical barriers. A more efficient - yet complex - method is network analysis, addressing, e.g., average speed per transport type and road network characteristics. In addition, walking speed varies, for example, with age, slope, or sidewalk conditions; motor vehicle speed depends on traffic intensity; and public transport accessibility is limited by bus line and bus stop distribution. This study presents a replicable protocol to assess 5- and 10-minute access (walking, biking, public, and private transport) and population coverage to support the above-mentioned SDG targets.•The protocol details a step-by-step approach to assess accessibility to UGS.•Equity is addressed through transport diversity, spatio-temporal barriers, and population coverage.•The protocol is designed to ensure replicability and comparison between different urban areas.
