1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Climate change anxiety is increasingly recognized as a mental health concern, with emerging evidence linking it to poorer well-being and highlighting the need to clarify its cognitive-emotional and functional dimensions. Methods: The current research explored the relationship between climate anxiety and mental health outcomes, using a large nationally representative sample. Results: The results revealed that climate change anxiety was positively related to negative affect and anger. Climate anxiety cognitive impairment was positively related to positive affect and life satisfaction. However, climate anxiety functional impairment showed a different pattern, being negatively associated with life satisfaction at the bivariate level but no longer remaining a significant predictor once generalized anxiety state and trait were included in the model. Climate change anxiety showed moderate positive correlations with generalized anxiety, both state and trait. Finally, in exploratory cross-sectional mediation models, anger statistically accounted for part of the association between climate change anxiety and both negative affect and life satisfaction, but not positive affect. Conclusion: This study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the psychological processes involved in climate anxiety and its relation with subjective well-being.
