Stress recovery and restorative effects of viewing different types of peony garden landscapes: a preliminary experiment.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Background: Substantial evidence supports the health benefits of urban green spaces, yet most studies focus on general landscapes, leaving a gap regarding specialized gardens with topographic variations (flatland, tableland, mountain land). This study explored the restorative effects of peony garden scenes with different topographic characteristics on students' physical and mental health using virtual reality (VR) and the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Methods: Participants ( Results: Results showed that: (1) After TSST, HR, LF/HF, and Beta significantly increased ( Conclusion: In the current VR experiment, peony garden landscapes, especially those with abundant landscape elements and visual experience, exhibited therapeutic potential for short-term stress recovery compared with the windowless indoor office scene. The findings offer preliminary guidance for creating health-promoting peony garden landscapes.
