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 (CC) is a major global challenge with detrimental environmental, social and health impacts. Adolescents and youth are particularly vulnerable to the adverse emotional and mental health effects of CC. However, concern about CC can prompt them to engage in climate action. This study aimed to assess social inequalities in CC concern and their relationship with the health and wellbeing of adolescents in Barcelona in 2021. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using data from the 2021-Secondary Education Risk Factors Survey (FRESC), among students in 8th, 10th, and 12th grades and vocational training. CC concern was measured by agreement with the statement " Results: Of 3,290 adolescents surveyed, 73.3% reported CC concern revealing gender inequalities (80.4%: girls; 65.8%; boys; 75.8%: non-binary). CC concern was most prevalent among 12th-grade and non-binary vocational training students. In 8th and 10th grades, concerned girls showed better health outcomes (poor health: prevalence ratio (PR) [95%CI]= 0.70[0.57-0.86]; poor mental health: PR [95%CI] = 0.68[0.48-0.97]; probable depression: PR [95%CI] = 0.75[0.58-0.95]), while the opposite trend was found in older students. Conclusion: CC concern was more prevalent among girls and non-binary students. In lower grades, concerned girls showed better health outcomes but this reversed in higher grades. Adolescents must be included in policymaking, with a focus on climate justice to protect their health and wellbeing.
