1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

With the accelerating trend of global population aging, the demand for social services among older adults continues to rise. Community therapeutic landscapes play a critical role in promoting the physical and mental well-being of older adults, fostering social interactions, enhancing living environments, and contributing to the sustainable development of communities. Grounded in Stress Reduction Theory (SRT) and Attention Restoration Theory (ART), this study identifies and synthesizes the design characteristics of therapeutic landscapes and subsequently develops an evaluation framework for community therapeutic landscape design cases. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a hierarchical evaluation model for therapeutic landscapes is developed, and the relative weights of key indicators are calculated. The results indicate that the Longfor Yinian Apartment Therapeutic Garden performs best in activity convenience, spatial adaptability, and social facilitation; the Elizabeth & Nona Evans Therapeutic Garden excels in natural attractiveness, exploration and interest, and environmental tranquility; and the Sun City Kobe Retirement Residence demonstrates notable strengths in environmental tranquility and natural attractiveness. Overall, contemporary community therapeutic landscape design for older adults shows stronger performance in natural attractiveness and environmental tranquility, while social facilitation remains comparatively underdeveloped. Future practice should therefore further reinforce the planning and construction of social spaces to build a more comprehensive and balanced therapeutic landscape system.
