Urban greening strategies for mitigating heat exposure and enhancing bird diversity.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. 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
Urbanization impact local climate by replacing green spaces with anthropogenic structures, which can increase heat exposure and diminish biodiversity. Minimizing these threats is required to maintain sustainable cities and communities globally, though the effectiveness of urban greening have not been broadly explored. Here, we analyze data from 1,039 cities worldwide to assess associations between urban greening and bird diversity. Urban greening was associated with 23-34% lower extreme heat exposure for birds when green-space quantity or quality was higher. Expanding green cover by 5-10% of total urban area showed the largest reductions, while higher green-space quality was also associated with lower heat exposure and greater bird diversity. Across cities worldwide, these greening scenarios were associated with 2-3% higher bird diversity. Our findings suggest that adopting urban greening practices would support and enhance urban biodiversity worldwide, a crucial component in the development of sustainable cities and communities.
