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
Introduction: Therapeutic gardens have been discussed as effective social interventions for promoting physical and mental health, and integrating digital technologies into therapeutic gardening offers a promising approach to enhance both accessibility and effectiveness. This study aimed to explore various forms of digital therapeutic gardening. Furthermore, it sought to investigate perceptions regarding digital therapeutic gardens and to examine the relationship between participation in such gardens and mental health. Methods: Survey data were collected from 335 community-dwelling adults in Korea using across-sectional design. Demographic information and experiences with digital gardens were collected, and mental health variables including depression, anxiety, stress, vitality, life satisfaction, loneliness, and social networks were assessed. To investigate differences in mental health by experience with digital therapeutic gardens, Results: Participants with experience in digital therapeutic gardens reported social, psychological, and physical benefits. They also demonstrated significantly higher levels of life satisfaction and vitality than those without such experience. Discussion: This study highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of digital gardens and suggests that, when integrated with community gardens and mental health services, they may serve as a promising candidate for evidence-based interventions.
