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

Introduction: In the context of accelerating urbanization and shifting climate change, this study investigates the interplay between place perception, environmental behavior, and health perception within carbon-neutral theme parks, with a particular focus on the independent contribution of carbon-neutral characteristics beyond general urban green space attributes. Methods: To achieve this, three carbon-neutral theme parks in Beijing-each possessing a distinct gradient of carbon-neutral features-were selected as a comparative case portfolio. A multi-dimensional data collection approach was adopted, integrating web crawling, questionnaire surveys, computer vision analysis, natural language processing, and LDA topic modeling to develop a theoretical framework linking place perception, pro-environmental behavior, and health perception. Structural equation modeling, along with Bootstrap mediation and moderation tests, was applied to elucidate the influencing pathways and interrelations among these dimensions. Results: The findings indicate: (1) Landscape visual characteristics, especially green view index, are positively associated with physical comfort. (2) Place emotional cognition is positively correlated with health perception and is also tied to indirect pathways via pro-environmental behavior, with place attachment exhibiting relatively stronger mediated associations with health perception;(3) Carbon-neutral characteristic perception remains independently associated with health perception after controlling for general place perception, varying by park infrastructure. (4) Pro-environmental behavior mediates the place perception-health perception link; ecological experience has the strongest association with psychological restoration. Discussion: Taken together, this study empirically identifies an independent association between carbon-neutral characteristic cognition and health perception, which is distinct from the effects of general green space. It further reveals how sensation, emotion, behavior, and health are theoretically interconnected within carbon-neutral theme parks, thereby providing theoretical and practical references for differentiated carbon-neutral park design in terms of landscape optimization, behavioral guidance, and health promotion.
