Moral perspective-taking can reduce polarization around climate policy in the United States.

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
Polarization is a barrier to the large-scale collective action urgently needed to address the climate crisis. Moral perspective-taking (MPT) combines counter-attitudinal argument generation with moral framing as a strategy for reducing polarization. Across four online studies with participants in the United States, we experimentally tested the efficacy of MPT for depolarization around divisive climate-related topics (transition from fossil fuels, fracking bans). We found consistent evidence that MPT can help moderate views on a divisive environmental topic, thus helping to decrease polarization. All four studies found significant effects of MPT on
