Mental distress and climate-related coastal hazards: Evidence from national studies in Indonesia.
Article in The journal of climate change and health. 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
Introduction: Climate change has a significant impact on mental health and psychological well-being worldwide. However, the mental health consequences of rising seas linked to climate change remain limited, particularly in Indonesia. This paper aims to evaluate the risk of mental distress among individuals residing in coastal regions susceptible to climate-related natural hazards. Method: This study utilised data from 642,419 adults who participated in the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Survey (Riskesdas). The correlation between residing in coastal hazard zones and mental distress was analysed using a multivariable logistic regression. The analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic factors, health status, and access to healthcare. Results: Approximately 201,109 (31.30%) live in coastal hazards area. Our analysis indicates that residents of coastal hazard areas have 1.16 times (95%CI: 1.01 - 1.33) increased likelihood of mental distress compared with non-coastal residents. Additionally, living in districts impacted by coastal abrasion and hurricane-prone areas was associated with slightly elevated odds of mental distress, 1.01 (95% CI: 1.00-1.03) and 1.00 (95% CI: 1.00-1.01), respectively. Factors associated with lower odds of mental distress include older age, higher education, being married, being employed or retired, higher household expenditure, and healthy lifestyle behaviours. In contrast, higher odds were observed among females, divorced individuals, active smokers, those with comorbidities, and individuals facing barriers to healthcare or family mental illness. Conclusion: Residing in coastal hazard areas correlates with higher odds of mental distress. Targeted mental health interventions are essential to support these at-risk groups and lessen climate-related health risks.
