Optimization of Hunhe waterfront parks in Shenyang based on Attention Restoration Theory.

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
Introduction: Rapid urbanization and increasing environmental pressures have intensified public health challenges, making the restorative potential of urban blue-green spaces a growing concern. Urban waterfront parks, as critical ecological and social infrastructures, play a significant role in promoting psychological recovery and physiological well-being. This study investigates how the spatial attributes and behavioral patterns of waterfront parks jointly shape restorative mechanisms, and how differentiated spatial optimization strategies can be proposed accordingly. Methods: Seven representative waterfront parks along the Hun River in Shenyang, China, were examined. Drawing upon Attention Restoration Theory, the study integrates objective spatial indicators and subjective perception data to construct a multi-dimensional evaluation framework. Methods including spatial analysis, questionnaire surveys, and multivariate statistical modeling were employed to identify the underlying mechanisms linking environmental qualities, user behaviors, and health restoration effects. Results: The findings reveal a multi-level interaction between spatial configuration, environmental perception, and behavioral participation in shaping restorative experiences. Different parks demonstrate distinct restorative orientations-socially interactive, psychologically reflective, and physiologically restorative-corresponding to variations in spatial form and user engagement. These results underscore that health restoration emerges not from single spatial elements, but from the synergistic relationship between environmental structure, sensory stimuli, and behavioral adaptability. Discussion: The study establishes an integrated theoretical and analytical framework for assessing and enhancing the restorative potential of urban waterfront parks. It offers both conceptual insights and practical guidance for health-oriented spatial planning, contributing to the creation of adaptive, resilient, and human-centered public spaces in high-density urban environments.
