Do Individuals with High Climate Anxiety Believe That They Will Die Earlier? First Evidence from Germany.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo examine the association between climate anxiety and perceived longevity in the general adult German population (also stratified by age group). STUDY
designNationally representative survey.
methodsData were used of the general adult German population, with n = 3015 individuals (18 to 74 years; data collection: March 2022). Climate anxiety was assessed using the validated Climate Anxiety Scale. It was adjusted for a wide array of covariates in linear-log regression analysis.
resultsEven after adjusting for various covariates, there was an association between higher (log) climate anxiety and a lower perceived longevity in the total sample (β = -1.41,
conclusionsThis study showed an association between higher climate anxiety and lower perceived longevity, particularly among younger individuals. More clearly, younger individuals with a higher climate anxiety think they will die earlier. This is the first study on this topic and could serve as a foundation for upcoming research. For example, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm our findings.
