Fractional Anisotropy of Cingulum Cingulate Mediates the Relationship Between Happiness and Work Performance in Healthy Individuals.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. 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
introductionAs competition among companies around the world intensifies, the nature of work and the performance required are becoming more complex. In parallel with this, there is growing attention on happiness and well-being as factors related to improving employee performance. However, little is known about the relationship between happiness and the brain and work performance in healthy people.
methodsTherefore, we analyzed the correlations between the nine categories of work role performance (WRP), the subjective happiness scale (SHS), and four regions of fractional anisotropy (FA), an index reflecting brain microstructure that has been shown to be related to apathy in previous studies.
resultsIt was shown that the cingulum cingulate (CCI) and the superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) correlated with the WRP and its facets in a manner consistent with their respective functions. In particular, the CCI was found to be extensively correlated with the facets of the WRP and to have a partially mediating effect on the relationship between the SHS and the WRP.
conclusionThis study is the first to show that indicators reflecting healthy individuals' happiness and brain microstructure, which are related to a variety of nonwork factors, are positively correlated with the diverse roles and performance that characterize modern work.
