Environmental moderators of neighbourhood socioeconomic inequalities in mental health: a systematic review protocol.
Article in Systematic reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMental health inequalities exist across levels of neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage. Numerous reviews have examined the relationship between neighbourhood social, economic, and physical environmental attributes and mental health. However, reviews investigating whether environmental attributes present an opportunity to reduce neighbourhood socioeconomic inequalities in mental health are scarce. Therefore, the aim of the systematic review proposed in this protocol is to identify potential environmental moderators to neighbourhood socioeconomic inequalities in mental health.
methodsThe following electronic databases will be searched: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL Complete, GreenFILE and ProQuest. In addition, grey literature will be searched. Quantitative studies will be included if they include community-dwelling adults, with neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage as an exposure, mental health as an outcome and an objective measure of an environmental attribute as a potential moderator. Two reviewers will independently determine the eligibility of studies based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Data extraction and quality appraisal will be conducted. Data synthesis will be carried out and a meta-analysis will be considered if sufficient studies are available. If a meta-analysis is not feasible a descriptive summary of the study characteristics will be presented. DISCUSSION: Existing research illustrates the diversity of environmental attributes and the potential for them to moderate the association between neighbourhood socioeconomic disadvantage and mental health. Therefore, a synthesis of these studies is needed to inform urban planning policies aimed at reducing mental health inequalities.
