'Sustainable Choices' - An intervention to promote climate change mitigation behaviours: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe latest climate reports underscore the importance of climate change mitigation behaviours in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the climate goals. There is a growing demand among the general population for guidance on sustainable behaviour change. Previous research has indicated that behavioural interventions could play a significant role in facilitating this type of behaviour change. However, the effectiveness of such approaches has yet to be rigorously tested under scientific conditions. This project aims to assess whether a novel, intervention "Sustainable Choices" effectively promotes climate change mitigation behaviours when compared to a control condition.
methodsVoluntary participants will be recruited from the general population in Sweden and randomized to either "Sustainable Choices", an online, behavioural intervention targeted at Climate Change Mitigation Behaviours (CCMBs), or a waitlist, both 5 weeks of duration. The target sample size is N = 680. The primary outcome of the study will be pre- to post-intervention difference in climate change mitigation behaviours, measured with the Climate Mitigation Behaviour Scale (CLIMBS). Secondary outcomes will include acceptability measures and effects on psychological well-being. Naturalistic follow-up assessments will be administered at 1-, 3- and 6-months after the post-measurement. DISCUSSION: The increasing awareness of the link between climate change and individual sustainable lifestyle choices has generated a significant interest in this field. Our aim is to evaluate a scalable intervention targeted at CCMBs, while also promoting psychological well-being associated with sustainable lifestyles.
