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 not only affecting the planet, it is also profoundly impacting our mental health. In these times, talking about how anxiety, stress and other emotional problems are growing due to the consequences of climate change, from distress over natural disasters to sadness over the loss of our ecosystems, is something that has become necessary. Several studies are already putting the spotlight on these effects, showing how millions of people, especially young people, feel worry, uncertainty and even hopelessness about the future. They are also exploring ways to address these problems by connecting people's well-being with care for the planet. In addition, it underscores the importance of public policy including this approach to protect our mental health in the midst of the climate crisis.
