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

Climate change threatens human populations and ecosystems worldwide. Neuroscience research on this topic is emerging, but validated questionnaires, stimuli, and fMRI tasks remain scarce. Here, we present the CLIMATE BRAIN dataset, a multimodal collection of questionnaire, behavioral, and neuroimaging data from 160 young, healthy Polish individuals. Designed to advance research on climate emotions and pro-environmental behavior, the dataset includes individuals with moderate climate change concern. Participants read anger and hope-evoking stories about climate change and made pro-environmental decisions. The dataset includes data from (1) various questionnaire measures, including the Inventory of Climate Emotions (ICE); (2) a neuroimaging task for measuring emotional reactions to standardized Emotional Climate Change Stories (ECCS); and (3) a neuroimaging task based on Carbon Emission Task (CET) to measure climate action-taking. For technical validation, we provide image quality metrics and show the evidence for the effectiveness of the tasks consistent with prior studies. To our knowledge, the proposed multimodal dataset is currently the only publicly available resource specifically designed to investigate human brain responses to climate change.
