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 are subject to rapid urbanisation, climate change and environmental challenges. Lagos, being the 4th most populous city in the world and Africa, is also facing these challenges. The study investigates the impact of implementing the green city development principle (GCDP) as a framework to enhance residents' well-being in Lagos, Nigeria. The instruments used were an In-Depth Interview (IDI) guide, an observation schedule and a GCDP checklist to determine the Lagos Megacity implementation level. The interpretivist and constructivist paradigms were engaged as the research philosophy. The findings present several obstacles that hinder GCDP's practical implementation and the relationship between GCDP implementation and residents' well-being in a megacity. Based on the findings, the study provides recommendations for policymakers and urban planners to enhance the effectiveness of GCDP implementation and promote sustainable urban development in Lagos while endorsing GCDP initiatives to improve well-being in cities.
