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

Climate change is an urgent environmental risk. This study examines an integrative model suggesting psychological pathways from drought-related information exposure through online and social media to drought mitigation behavioral intentions and support for drought management policies. The model proposes links between these variables through perceived risks, fear, anger, and hope, with institutional trust acting as a moderator. A two-wave panel survey was conducted in the context of drought due to climate change in Korea (n = 694 at the baseline survey). The results show that online media exposure increased perceived risks and fear; perceived risks were positively associated with behavioral intentions and policy support, whereas fear was positively associated with behavioral intentions. Among people with low institutional trust, social media exposure was associated with risk perception and hope. These findings suggest that online and social media play distinct roles in shaping public responses to climate change, particularly depending on individuals' levels of institutional trust.
