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

While prior research highlights the impact of teacher work motivation (TWM) on teacher job satisfaction (TJS) and teacher job engagement (TJE), the nuanced relationships among these constructs in the specific context of Iranian teachers in online classes have received limited attention. Addressing this gap, this study examined the interplay between TWM and TJE, with a focus on the mediating role of TJS among Iranian teachers in online classes. To this end, the study adopted a quantitative research design, involving a sample of 412 EFL teachers (female, n = 226, male, n = 186) recruited through convenience sampling. Data were gathered using standardized instruments for measuring TWM, TJS, and TJE, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings indicated that TWM significantly predicts TJS and TJE. Additionally, the results uncovered that TJS was significantly correlated with TJE. Furthermore, TJS significantly mediated the effect of TWM on TJE. These insights provided tangible implications for various stakeholders, emphasizing the need to prioritize initiatives that cultivate TJS as a pathway to improved engagement and effectiveness.
