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

Teachers' well-being at work is an important indicator of their mental health. Strengths use has been identified as a significant predictor of enhanced well-being at work. However, there is a scarcity of studies that have examined the connection between teachers' strengths use and well-being at work; thus, its underlying psychological mechanism is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between teachers' strengths and well-being at work together with the mediating role of basic need satisfaction. A total of 374 university teachers completed a series of questionnaires on strengths use, basic need satisfaction, hedonic well-being, and eudaimonic well-being. The results showed that there were positive correlations between strength use and both types of well-being at work. Moreover, basic need satisfaction mediated the association between strength use and two types of well-being at work. The findings suggest that institutions should prioritize enhancing teachers' ability to utilize their strengths and foster an environment conducive to such practices, thereby improving their workplace well-being.
