Examining the Relationship Between Greenspace and Substance Use among Adolescents and Young Adults: A Scoping Review.
Article in Environment and behavior. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The beneficial effects of greenspace on mental health supports the exploration of greenspace in the prevention and treatment of substance use and substance use disorder (SUD) among adolescents and young adults. This scoping review aimed to summarize associations between greenspace and substance use and SUD among adolescents and young adults, describe how greenspace is being measured and operationalized, and identify differential effects among subpopulations and geographic contexts. Following PRISMA recommendations, 15 articles were screened into the scoping review and data was extracted from each article. Adolescents and young adults who experienced guided activities in nature reported less substance use, while passive engagement in nature was associated with increased substance use. Recommendations for future research are provided to untangle these effects to develop evidence-based practices for the inclusion of nature exposure in substance use prevention and SUD intervention with adolescents and young adults.
