Unheard voices: the overlooked mental health toll of climate change in vulnerable communities.
Article in BMJ mental health, 2026. 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
Climate change has an increasing physical and mental health toll on young people globally. In this Perspective, we suggest that the extent of mental health impacts is likely to be underestimated in the low- and middle-income countries which are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. We highlight a strong global inverse relationship between internet connectivity and climate vulnerability, which poses significant challenges for understanding climate change's worldwide mental health impacts and for developing effective mitigation strategies. Inclusive methodologies that enable engagement with offline but climate-vulnerable communities are therefore needed. Such locally grounded mental health research is essential to ensure that climate policies are informed by the lived experiences of populations on the frontlines of the crisis, many of whom remain digitally disconnected and excluded from much current research.
