1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

As an important form of green space within densely built urban environments, optimizing the layout of city parks based on the synergistic integration of carbon stock and recreational services level holds significant importance. Taking Hangzhou Jinsha Lake Park as a case, this research employs remote sensing inversion to analyze the spatial distribution of the park's carbon stock. A set of indexes was used to evaluate the park's recreational services level. Finally, a coupling coordination model was applied to generate and visualize the coupling coordination degree between the park's carbon stock and recreational services level. Results indicate that the coupling coordination degree between recreational services level and carbon stock in Jinsha Lake Park exhibits a distribution pattern characterized by higher values in the west and lower values in the east, as well as higher values in the south and lower values in the north. Most of these coupling coordination degrees fall in the "primary coordination" range and exhibit different spatial characteristics, such as "high recreational level - low carbon stock" and "low recreational level - high carbon stock". Park road accessibility serves as a fundamental prerequisite for activating spaces. The rational allocation of functional zones provides a structural framework for balancing ecological and recreational interests, while optimized vegetation configuration acts as the core engine that directly drives the simultaneous growth of carbon stock and recreational vitality. Appropriate plant configuration not only directly increases regional carbon stock but also boosts recreational vitality by increasing plant diversity and vegetation coverage. This study proposes a park optimization strategy based on the synergy between carbon stock and recreational functions, which is of great significance for advancing the dual objectives of enhancing ecological services and social services in urban parks.
