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

Amid the global climate change crisis, the societal importance of the environment is becoming increasingly clear. Discussions on climate change and its impacts occur across various levels, yet the effects remain unclear for many. In this study, we examined the role of political orientation (left/right ideology) in shaping perceptions of climate change and local nature among residents in two municipalities in southwestern Finland. Our findings reveal a strong link between political orientation and changes in how local nature is perceived, particularly at the community level. While political opinions have a less significant influence on perceptions at the individual and national levels, they play a substantial role within communities. This suggests that political orientation becomes more influential in shaping environmental views as evaluations shift to the community level, emphasizing the interaction between political preferences and perceptions of local nature.
