Impact of urban green spaces on mental restoration in older adults: a perspective based on subjective perception.

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: This study investigates the impact of urban green spaces (UGSs) on mental restoration among older adults. It contributes to the development of age-friendly urban green spaces that are more inclusive and promote health. Materials and methods: Data were collected via surveys conducted in five distinct UGSs in Nanjing, China. The Perceived Sensory Dimensions (PSDs) were used to evaluate the qualities of these green spaces, while the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS) assessed older adults' mental restoration. Multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the effects of UGS quality on mental restoration in older adults. Results: Four dimensions of the PSDs-culture, social, rich in species, and serene-had a positive effect on mental restoration in older adults. Gender-specific analysis showed that culture, rich in species and serene, positively impacted mental restoration in both genders. Conversely, the social dimension had a positive effect on older men, while refuge positively affected older women. Age-specific analysis showed that culture, social, and serene positively influenced mental restoration among participants aged 60-79 years, while species richness positively influenced mental restoration among those aged 60-69 years. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that specific environmental features of UGSs positively influence mental restoration in older adults. Moreover, the effects of environmental features on mental restoration varied by age and gender. Based on these findings, we propose four key considerations for designing UGSs.
