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

While urban green spaces are known to support psychological restoration, their benefits for adolescents in urban fringe areas and the pathways of cultural ecosystem services (CESs) remain unclear. Using multi-source data and structural equation modeling, the findings reveal that: (1) CESs improve mental health directly and via social interaction; (2) green view index and sky view factor positively affect mental health, while normalized difference vegetation index shows a negative effect; (3) point of interest density in 500-m park buffers exhibits functional differentiation: catering, corporate, and transportation facilities enhance mental health, lifestyle services reduce it, and commercial-residential facilities show no effect; (4) social interaction and neighborhood satisfaction are key mediators; healthcare facilities have the strongest total effect but a direct pathway, with effects varying by type and usage pattern. This study emphasizes that urban fringe planning should prioritize cultural services and social integration over mere green space metrics.
