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
Risk perception regarding air pollution in Andean urban environments poses significant challenges to psychological well-being, highlighting the emergence of climate anxiety. Despite this, evidence on how cognitive appraisals of environmental and health risks predict this distress in vulnerable communities remains scarce. This study analyzed the explanatory capacity of environmental risk perceptions and perceived health effects on the variance of climate anxiety among residents of hillside communities in an Andean region of Peru. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, and analytical design, 205 participants selected by quota sampling were assessed. Validated scales were applied to measure risk perception (individual and social), perceived health effects, climate anxiety, and sociodemographic factors. Hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that individual risk perception, perceived symptoms and discomfort, as well as health concerns and the adoption of preventive measures, exhibited positive and statistically significant associations with climate anxiety, demonstrating greater explanatory power than sociodemographic variables. The final model explained 34.3% of the variance in climate anxiety (
