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
Purpose: In recent decades, we have witnessed a growing deterioration in teachers' health and wellbeing, which affects the quality of the teaching and learning process and the school as an organization. The school must provide a quality service that ensures student success. For this, it is essential that teachers feel healthy, satisfied, competent, and active in their work environment, maintaining wellbeing, energy, and appreciative relationships. Organizational and personal variables related to positive psychology have been scarcely studied in educational research concerning teachers' health. Methodology: This study aimed to understand: (a) the direct relationships between organizational health and the various dimensions of teachers' health (professional wellbeing, exhaustion, and cognitive, musculoskeletal, and voice disorders); (b) the direct relationship between organizational health and optimism; (c) the indirect effects of optimism on the relationship between organizational health and the various dimensions of teachers' health. The research protocol was applied online to a sample of 12,104 Portuguese teachers from basic and secondary education. To analyze the data, the mediation model of organizational health on teachers' health was evaluated using structural equation modeling (SEM), considering the mediating effect of optimism across the entire sample. Findings: The results confirmed the tested hypotheses. Organizational health is positively associated with optimism, professional wellbeing and negatively associated with exhaustion, cognitive disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and voice changes. Similarly, optimism shows a positive relationship with professional wellbeing while being negatively linked to exhaustion, cognitive disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and voice changes. Optimism mediates the relationship between organizational health and the various dimensions of teachers' health. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of organizational health in teachers' health, emphasizing the mediating role of optimism in reducing the negative impacts of school organization on various dimensions of teachers' health.
