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

This study presents the first integrated, multicity assessment of urban green infrastructure in Armenia, focusing on three major cities, Yerevan, Gyumri, and Vanadzor, that represent contrasting climatic conditions. The study combines an analysis of the present climatic conditions and green-space structure with a long-term assessment of dendrological dynamics over the past 65 years (1960-2025) and an evaluation of potential changes in the species composition under projected climate-change scenarios through 2100. Promising families and genera for arid and semiarid urban landscaping were identified, including Cupressaceae (Juniperus), Aceraceae (Acer), Caprifoliaceae (Lonicera, Viburnum, Sambucus), Fabaceae (Albizzia, Caragana, Cercis, Laburnum, Sophora), and Rosaceae (Cotoneaster, Chaenomeles, Spiraea, Crataegus, Padus, Pyracantha, Rosa, Sorbus), which exhibit the highest dendrological diversity. Approximately 70 ornamental trees and shrubs are recommended for use in urban green spaces, with key information provided on their ecological adaptability, tolerance to urban environmental conditions, and climatic requirements. Plantings of these species in urban and suburban areas can support multiple ecosystem functions, including recreational, hygienic, ecological, social, and cultural services. Overall, the findings provide a scientifically grounded basis for climate-resilient green infrastructure planning, with relevance for semiarid and arid regions of Armenia, the Caucasus, and other regions with comparable environmental settings.
