Dataset of 69 German COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO) surveys on pandemic attitudes, feelings and behaviours.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
During a pandemic, knowledge, risk perceptions, trust in institutions and attitudes towards public health measures influence protective behaviours and mental health. The COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO) project collected psychosocial data on pandemic-related attitudes, feelings and behaviours from representative samples in Germany. In sixty-nine cross-sectional online surveys conducted between 03.03.2020 and 29.11.2022, N = 69,013 individuals were assessed. Our 332 variables show how COVID-19 was perceived (e.g., symptoms, risk perceptions), which behaviours were exhibited (e.g., mask wearing, keeping distance, being vaccinated, meeting other people), what attitudes and beliefs people held (e.g., towards vaccination, conspiracy beliefs, pandemic fatigue), which information sources they used and trusted, how their mental health was affected (e.g., worries, wellbeing, resilience) and what consequences the pandemic had for people (e.g., financial losses, alcohol consumption). Variables are available for at least five waves (i.e., roughly 5,000 participants), some variables are available for all waves. The data allow tracing population-level changes in pandemic perceptions and actions, assess the relationships between determinants and behaviours, and help prepare for future crises.
