[Theory-driven examination of available data on age(ing) and climate change: an explorative contribution].
Review in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe socioemotional selectivity theory and the concept of generativity lead to two contradictory predictions, namely (1) a decrease in the significance and importance of climate issues with age, but (2) a similarly high level of engagement at the behavioral level, at least compared to younger age groups.
methodMarking survey studies from German-speaking and European countries are used to provide a descriptive test of the two predictions.
resultsOn the one hand, the selected studies confirm a decrease in the significance and importance of climate issues as people get older. On the other hand, the age segment of people between around 60 and 75 years old in particular shows a similar or even higher level of commitment in many climate-relevant areas of behavior compared to younger people.
conclusionWe apply the theory of planned behavior to explain the at first glance inconsistent findings driven by our predictions. Future research on aging and climate change needs a more theory-driven approach.
