Effects of Exposure to Non-Immersive Virtual Reality on Disgust and Anxiety: A Study on Non-Clinical Samples.

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
Non-immersive (screen-based) virtual environments may offer a low-threshold way to elicit clinically relevant emotions while reducing barriers associated with immersive head-mounted displays. This study examined whether a non-immersive virtual scenario simulating a dirty public bathroom is associated with changes in disgust-related and anxiety-related responses in a non-clinical sample of university students, and explored links with obsessive-compulsive tendencies and contamination-related anxiety during the COVID-19 period. A total of 122 participants remotely explored the virtual environment. Before and after exposure, participants completed measures of state anxiety (EMAS-S) and disgust sensitivity (DSR); trait anxiety (EMAS-T), obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCI-R), fear of COVID-19 (FCS), and engagement/activation during the experience were also assessed. Pre-post differences were tested using paired-sample
