Comparison of mediating effects of air pollutants on urban morphology and urban heat Island intensity at block scale.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The urban heat island effect seriously challenges the sustainability and livability of urban development. Air pollutants (AP) may play a mediating role in the impact of urban morphology (UM) on the canopy layer urban heat island intensity (CLUHII) and the surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII). To verify this hypothesis, taking Urumqi as an example, we use the ridge regression model to reveal the differences in the impacts of UM and AP on the two types of urban heat island intensity (UHII). A structural equation model was established to verify the mediating effect of AP. The results show that: (1) There are differences in the optimal research units for UM and CLUHII and SUHII, which are 500 m and 300 m respectively. (2) Whether it is CLUHII or SUHII, the impact of two - dimensional urban morphology indicators are greater than that of three - dimensional urban morphology indicators. (3) There are similarities and differences in the impact of urban morphology indicators on the two types of UHII. The effects of standard deviation of building height, floor area ratio, and sky view factor on the two are opposite. (4) Air pollutants (PM
