Association between nature exposure and suicidal tendency among Chinese inmates: a moderated mediation model.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
backgroundInmate suicide is a serious problem faced by society. Evidence shows that nature exposure is closely related to the mental health of inmates, yet its relationship with suicidal tendency remains unclear. Our study explores the relationship between nature exposure and suicidal tendency among inmates by establishing a moderated mediation model.
methodsWe conducted a survey from May to June 2022 in six Chinese prisons, utilizing tools including the Nature Exposure Scale, the short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale, the Suicide Orientation Subscale, and the Prison Group Climate Instrument, resulting in the collection of 1048 valid data. The study employed path analysis, implementing linear regression via the PROCESS program, to assess the mediation and moderation effects within our study variables.
resultsThis study found that loneliness mediates the relationship between nature exposure and suicidal tendency among inmates. Additionally, the group atmosphere played a moderating role. Specifically, the more positive the group atmosphere in prisons, the better the mitigating effect of nature exposure on loneliness, and the weaker the promoting effect of loneliness on suicidal tendency.
conclusionsOur findings offer valuable perspectives on mitigating suicide among prison populations. Prisons should consider increasing natural elements in inmates' living, working, and activity spaces, and regularly evaluate and intervene in their loneliness. Additionally, improving the group atmosphere within the prison can help alleviate suicidal tendency.
