Review in Applied psychology. Health and well-being, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Sustainable development requires individuals to make mindful, long-term choices that preserve the planet for future generations. Becoming a sustainable citizen involves awareness, responsibility, and a commitment to long-term thinking-qualities that rely heavily on self-control. Although self-control is a limited resource, it can be trained and applied across various domains, contributing to healthier lifestyles and reduced environmental impact. Yet, this ideal faces strong resistance in societies that prioritize immediate gratification, consumerism, and comfort. Bridging the gap between sustainable intentions and actual behavior requires supportive social, educational, and institutional frameworks as proposed by the conceptual model of the two-way dynamics of sustainable citizenship. By fostering environments that make self-discipline easier and more meaningful, individual actions can eventually lead to collective change and the redefinition of societal norms. This suggests that effective sustainability policies should combine individual self-control interventions with structural changes that reduce the cognitive burden of pro-environmental choices.
