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
Introduction: Critical thinking is increasingly recognized as a key competence for addressing global challenges, including sustainability. At the same time, emotional avoidance-particularly reduced awareness of negative emotions related to climate change-may undermine engagement in environmentally relevant actions. Methods: The present study examined the joint role of critical thinking and emotional awareness in shaping self-reported pro-environmental behaviors, using sustainable practices as the primary outcome. A sample of 309 adults (59.5% female; Mage = 31.5, SD = 11.7) completed validated measures of critical thinking dispositions, emotional avoidance, and sustainable behaviors. Results: Correlational analyses indicated that critical thinking was positively associated with sustainable behaviors ( Discussion: These findings suggest that fostering critical thinking and emotional awareness may support engagement in pro-environmental behavior. The study adopts a Theory of Planned Behavior-informed perspective to frame the investigation of psychological factors associated with self-reported sustainable behaviors, while acknowledging that no TPB model was directly tested.
