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

purposeThis study was aimed to assess the relationship between climate change anxiety and religiousness in individuals with epilepsy.

methodThis study was conducted between July and October 2025 with 330 patients at a university hospital in eastern Turkey. The personal ınformation form, the climate change anxiety scale and the ındividual religion ınventory were used for data collection.

findingsThe mean total score on the climate change anxiety scale for individuals with epilepsy was determined to be 16.25 ± 7.88; and the mean total score on the ındividual religiousness scale was 25.791 ± 5.01. A negative and statistically significant relationship was found between the patients' climate change anxiety and individual religiousness scores (r = -0.261, p < 0.05). It was determined that the level of individual religiousness reduced the level of climate change anxiety (ß = -0.261).

conclusionIn this study, it was determined that the individual religiousness levels of patients with epilepsy were high, while their climate change anxiety levels were low. Furthermore, it was established that as the level of individual religiousness increased, the level of climate change anxiety decreased.
