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

This paper examines affective climate polarization (ACP) and affective political polarization (APP) - emotional distance between supporters and opponents of decarbonization and political partisans, respectively. Analyzing original, representative Canadian survey data (n = 2503), we examine why people have differing levels of ACP and APP and the extent to which ACP and APP predict support for a carbon tax and beliefs about how decarbonization will affect jobs. The intensity of individuals' support or opposition to decarbonization is the most important factor in predicting ACP. The strength of ideological alignment predicts APP among both liberals and conservatives, and, on the political right only, attitudes to decarbonization also explain variation in APP. Support for an industrial carbon tax and belief that decarbonization will increase jobs are related to political ideology and attitudes toward decarbonization more strongly than to either measure of affective polarization. These findings show that climate politics intensify partisan animosity, albeit in different ways on the political left and right.
