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

Introduction: Climate change has significant consequences on mental health, which are summarized under concepts like eco-anxiety or climate change distress. However, these recently developed concepts still suffer from a lack of clarity. Aim: The aim of this study is to improve the conceptual clarity of climate change distress through analysing its' correlations with various psychological and demographic factors. In this context, the specific associations of climate change distress are compared to those of general distress. Methods: In a cross-sectional study Results: Relevant correlates of climate change distress included trust in government to handle climate change and several emotion regulation strategies. The associated factors of general distress were distinct from those of climate change distress, such as gender and sense of coherence. Discussion: The results suggest that the correlates of climate change distress differ from those of general distress. This implies that climate change distress and general distress are two related, however distinct constructs. The associated factors can be promising targets for psychotherapy and intervention strategies.
