Assessing human-nature connection: A systematic review and a new Wetland Wanderer Tool for auditing nature connection in wetland environments.

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
Wetlands are critical ecosystems that sustain biodiversity and support human wellbeing, yet limited public awareness of their values constrains conservation and restoration efforts. Drawing on human-nature connection (HNC) theory, this study develops a systematic approach for auditing and strengthening HNC in wetland environments through a new Wetland Wanderer Tool (WWT). The research comprised three stages: a systematic literature review identifying existing tools for assessing nature connection; development of the WWT through iterative expert consultation and field testing; and application of the tool across 21 Tasmanian wetlands as a proof of concept. Field application of the tool produced the first systematic inventory of HNC opportunities in Australian wetlands, revealing consistent shortfalls in orientation and only moderate provision of access. These findings highlight key engagement and infrastructure gaps, while also identifying examples of best practice. The WWT offers a scalable and transferable framework for integrating HNC into wetland planning and conservation.
