Electrophysiological evidence for the emotional benefits of auditory nature therapy among psychiatric healthcare workers.

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
Background: This study investigated psychiatric healthcare workers as the target population and aimed to provide electrophysiological evidence for the effectiveness of auditory natural therapy in improving emotional states, as measured by electroencephalography (EEG). Methods: EEG data were collected from 40 participants before and after exposure to three types of natural sound stimuli (birdsong, insect sounds, and rain sounds). Changes in EEG-based emotional indicators were analyzed to assess the effects of different auditory conditions. Results: (1) Birdsong reduced stress and increased relaxation; insect sounds reduced the directional attention, while rain sounds reduced engagement; (2) Insect sounds and rain sounds elicited significantly higher levels of Engagement ( Conclusion: Exposure to natural sounds can improve the EEG-based emotional states in psychiatric healthcare workers, contributing positively to their mental and physical wellbeing.
