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

purposeClimate change is the greatest global health threat of the 21st century, but little is known about well-being in climate vulnerable populations. We investigate how well-being is shaped by common and unique stressors in an area of climate vulnerability in Bangladesh.

methodsWe present findings from 60 semi-structured in-depth interviews. We inductively analyzed our data following a Reflexive Thematic Analysis approach and then applied a Relational Well-being (RWB) framework.

resultsWe found that well-being was influenced negatively by factors such as financial worries, forced migration, social pressure, and natural disasters. Well-being was influenced positively by factors such as financial satisfaction, voluntary migration, social support, and place attachment.

conclusionsUsing relational well-being as a conceptual lens allowed us to explore the dynamism and complexity of factors shaping well-being that were partly specific to the local context and partly rooted in wider societal and global structures. Policies which aim to improve the well-being of climate vulnerable populations should consider relational well-being as a conceptual tool to leverage locally available informal resources, such as suppotive reciprocal relationships.
