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

Cities face many environmental, social, and economic challenges. Green infrastructure (GI) and nature-based solutions (NBS) are the tools that contribute to tackling them and improving the quality of life of urban citizens. To strengthen the competencies of cities in achieving sustainable development, the Polish Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy led, in collaboration with the World Bank, a flagship project of the National Urban Policy 2030-the Cities' Partnership Initiative (CPI) 2021-2023. Within CPI, ten Polish cities participated in the Green Network Group. Based on Green Network's work results, we aim to: 1. Reveal contemporary key urban challenges that the GI and NBS can address; 2. Indicate barriers in the planning, design, execution, and maintenance of GI or NBS that hinder their systemic development (legal, organizational, substantive, financial); 3. Propose improvements to the GI and NBS systemic development from the perspective of practitioners reperesenting cities. The findings result from a series of workshops and Municipal Action Plans developed by participants to address city-specific challenges. The results showed that urban challenges are multidimensional, and GI and NBS are recognized as multi-beneficial solutions. Municipalities struggle with legal, organizational, substantial, and financial shortages, but at the same time, they indicate various improvements that are needed to strengthen the systemic approach to GI and NBS uptake.
