Hope as an enabler of climate change adaptation.
Review in Communications psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Adaptation to climate change continues to fall short of needs. Emerging research in psychology and other social sciences suggests that hope may be an important emotion and cognitive process for enabling climate action, and for keeping despair at bay. Drawing on and extending this research, we present a theoretical model to show how hope has the capacity to be a powerful driving force for adaptation. We suggest that hope can, in theory, spur adaptation to climate change in situations where individuals and collectives identify adaptation goals and pathways to achieve those goals; and that effective collective adaptation can in turn reinforce hope. We propose a program of systematic research in communities experiencing climate change impacts to assess the relationship between hope and adaptation, and explore conditions where hope could be leveraged to promote much-needed momentum in climate change adaptation.
