Habituating to pandemic anxiety: Temporal trends of COVID-19 anxiety over sixteen months of COVID-19.
Trial report in Journal of affective disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04632082 (A Pragmatic Superiority Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Telepsychoeducation Plus Personalized Videos vs. Telepsychoeducation Without Personalized Videos for the Prevention of Future Emotional Distress in Professionals From Essential Services With Low to Moderate Levels of Emotional Distress in Brazil in the Context of COVID-19), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The impact of COVID-19 anxiety on mental health and its association with preventive measures is well-established. We aimed to study how COVID-19 anxiety and its dimensions vary over time (16 months) in a sample of individuals (N = 2717) suffering from mental distress in the pandemic context that participated in a randomized clinical trial testing psychosocial interventions in Brazil. Results showed that pandemic anxiety reduced over time. COVID-19 influences fear of others being infected and concerns about mental health being affected by COVID-19 were more significant than the fear of being infected or the physical health influenced by COVID-19. A similar temporal effect was not found for burnout, and this effect was not correlated with the number of COVID-related deaths. Habituation to pandemic anxiety or higher intolerance of uncertainty at the beginning of the pandemic is putative mechanisms for the patterns observed in the data. They might have implications for mental health interventions in the pandemic scenario and motivational strategies for prevention.
