Gender-specific impact of stress and adiposity on autonomic stress modulation in teachers.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: Teaching is recognized as one of the most stressful professions, often leading to negative physical and mental health outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress and adiposity in teachers, considering gender differences. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 253 teachers from compulsory and higher education during the 2022-2023 academic year. Autonomous regulation was assessed using heart rate variability, adipose tissue mass was measured with bioelectrical impedance analysis, and stress was evaluated through validated psychological questionnaires. Results: Men with higher adiposity exhibited lower levels of Root Mean Square of the Successive Differences (RMSSD; 34.75 ± 14.49 vs. 47.25 ± 26.75, Conclusions: we found that higher adiposity in teachers is linked to increased stress and altered autonomic regulation. Men with higher adiposity exhibited greater sympathetic activation, while women reported higher stress with more variable autonomic responses. These findings suggest the need for gender-specific interventions to address both the psychological and physiological components of stress in educators.
