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

The impact of climate change on mental health is becoming increasingly recognized. Previous studies on this subject have mainly assessed the direct and immediate emotional reactions to climate change anxiety, but the psychological aspects of this connection are yet to be investigated, especially in Arab societies. The current study aimed at investigating if hope can be a mediator in the relationship between climate change anxiety and psychological distress in Arab countries. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between February and June 2025 among 2,844 subjects from Egypt, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon. The validated Arabic versions of the
