Do green spaces protect night sleep duration and sleep quality in children and adolescents? Evidence from 10 observational studies.
Synthesis 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
backgroundMore than half of children and adolescents do not get the recommended eight hours of sleep necessary for optimal growth and development. Since sleep was very important for the growth and development of children and adolescents, it is necessary to improve the environment for children and adolescents to sleep. Green space have been found to improve sleep in general, and the aim of this systematic review is to assess the association of green space on sleep among children and adolescents.
methodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database and Wan Fang database were searched from the establishment of these databases to July 31, 2024. Newcastle - Ottawa Scale (NOS) and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scale were applied to evaluate the quality of the included studies. Stata17.0 was used to draw forest maps and sensitivity analysis was performed on the results of meta-analysis to evaluate the stability of the results. Publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger test method.
resultsA total of 10 articles with 102,873 participants meeting the criteria were included in this study, including 6 articles were cohort studies and 4 articles were cross-sectional studies. The sample sizes ranged from 328 to 63,352 participants per study. The results show that green space have a positive association on night sleep duration in children and adolescents (OR: 0.969, 95%CI [0.869, 1.079] and OR: 0.949, 95%CI [0.854, 1.055]).
conclusionsThe results show that green space have a positive association on night sleep duration in children and adolescents. The association of green space on sleep quality and napping could be further studied in the future.
