Effect of green space in the workplace on hearing thresholds in noise exposed population.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The association between greenness exposure and hearing thresholds and the underlying mechanism are unclear. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aims to assess the relationship between greenness exposure and hearing thresholds and whether this relationship is mediated by air pollutants. Our study involved 6016 occupational people examined at an occupational disease screening center. Mean exposure concentrations of air pollutants and green indices [Standardized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI)] were assessed for 250 m, 500 m, and 1000 m buffer zones according to work address. A generalized linear model was used to assess the association between the two, taking into account the influence of workplace clustering effects and applying cluster-robust standard errors (CRSE) to correct for clustering effects. Mediation analysis was used to examine the impact of air pollutant exposure on these associations. After correcting for confounders, compared to the lowest quartile group, exposure to more green space significantly improves hearing thresholds. However, we have not yet found a significant association between air pollutants and the relationship between exposure to green environments and hearing thresholds. Sensitivity analyses also yielded similar results. In summary, increasing exposure to visible green environments outdoors in the workplace may help protect hearing thresholds, but the protective mechanism requires further investigation.
