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

Introduction: This longitudinal mixed-methods study explored the interplay between emotional intelligence (EI), mindfulness practices, and burnout among secondary school educators in mainland China. The aim was to understand changes in these variables over time and the impact of mindfulness. Methods: The study tracked EI Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) and burnout Maslach Burnout Inventory - Educators Survey (MBI-ES) quantitatively over 12 months in a sample of 216 educators (189 completed all phases). Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 35 participants to explore lived experiences. Results: Quantitative findings revealed a significant reduction in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, while EI facets remained stable. Average daily mindfulness-practice duration was inversely correlated with emotional exhaustion ( Discussion: The findings contribute to understanding the complex interactions between EI, mindfulness, and burnout in educators. This study offers insights into potential strategies for fostering teacher resilience and well-being within educational settings, emphasizing the benefits of mindfulness for emotional exhaustion while acknowledging limitations.
