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

The topic of climate change and humans' role in causing or addressing it often elicits a negative emotional response. Considerable literature supports associations between both general distress and specific negative emotions with climate-relevant outcomes. However, little is known about how individuals' tendency to differentiate specific climate change negative emotions from one another versus experience non-specific, broad negative distress may influence such associations. The current investigation examines Climate Change Distress (CCD) to assess whether specific climate change emotions of anger, anxiety, and sadness, can be distinguished from an overarching emotional distress construct in their associations with climate-relevant outcomes. We include data from the original open-source CCD investigation (
