Effect of a mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy intervention on occupational burnout among school teachers.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: We aimed to assess the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy (MB-CBT) as an intervention to reduce burnout among secondary school teachers in Nepal. Methods: The baseline survey of this randomized controlled trial included 218 secondary school teachers from 37 schools in Kathmandu. At a one-month follow-up, 192 teachers completed post-test survey. The Maslach Burnout Inventory for Educators (MBI-ES) tool was used to measure burnout in three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Teachers in the treatment arm (n=102) received MB-CBT, while those in the control arm (n=116) continued their regular activities. Linear regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to calculate the mean, mean change estimates, and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: The mean level of EE decreased during the post-test for both treatment (mean change -0.93, 95% CI: -2.56 to 0.70) and control (-1.71, 95% CI: -3.24 to -0.18) arms. The mean level of DP also decreased in the treatment arm (-0.12, 95% CI: -0.98 to -0.75), but a sharper decline was observed in the control arm (-1.97, 95% CI: -2.78 to -1.16). The mean level of PA increased in both the treatment (1.04, 95% CI: -0.21 to 2.30) and control (1.53, 95% CI: 0.35 to 2.70) arms. Conclusions: The prevalence of high EE and low PA decreased in both arms. However, the prevalence of high DP remained constant in the treatment arm but sharply decreased in the control arm. No significant differences between the arms were found in the post-test mean levels of EE, DP, and PA. The virtual MB-CBT intervention showed no significant impact on reducing burnout. Nonetheless, small reductions in burnout were observed in both groups.
