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

Objective: Academic burnout is a prevalent phenomenon among college students. According to the Conservation of Resources Theory, when there is an imbalance between invested resources and expected returns, individuals may suffer from academic or job burnout. If an individual has sufficient resources, these resources may relieve the negative problem. Healthy lifestyle is believed to improve brain health and provide resources. However, limited research has examined the psychological mechanisms that link academic burnout and a multidimensional healthy lifestyle. Methods: A sample of 1,186 undergraduate students from freshmen to seniors were recruited using the stratified cluster random sampling method. The participants completed online questionnaires that assessed the healthiness of their lifestyle, dormitory conflict coping style, and academic burnout in April 2021. Bivariate correlation and a moderated mediation model were constructed to examine the relationships among these variables. Results: The results indicated that (1) healthy lifestyle was negatively correlated with academic burnout ( Conclusion: The findings offer valuable insights into the psychological mechanisms underlying the association between academic burnout and multidimensional healthy lifestyle among general college students, as indicated that college students with healthier lifestyles tend to use fewer coping styles of competition and avoidance, leading to a lower level of academic burnout. Such effect is more pronounced among female college students. This study provides a new perspective for the prevention and intervention in college students' academic burnout.
