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: With the increasing academic pressure faced by university students, academic burnout has gradually become a critical factor affecting students' learning outcomes, drawing widespread attention in the field of education. Methods: A survey was conducted among 306 Chinese university students using five validated instruments: the Academic Burnout Scale, Learning Satisfaction Scale, Learning Engagement Scale, Academic Achievement Scale, and Educational Values Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS macro (Model 6 and Model 14), incorporating correlation analysis, regression analysis, mediation and moderated mediation tests via bootstrapping. Results: Academic burnout had a significant negative effect on academic achievement. Both learning satisfaction and learning engagement had significant positive effects on academic achievement and jointly played a chain mediation role between academic burnout and academic achievement. Educational values significantly moderated the effect of learning engagement on academic achievement, as well as the entire chain mediation pathway. Discussion: The results highlight a significant chain mediation effect of learning satisfaction and engagement in the relationship between academic burnout and academic achievement. Moreover, educational values can significantly moderate the relationship between academic burnout and learning achievement. Based on the empirical findings, the study proposes three recommendations for improving students' learning achievements: Improve students' learning satisfaction; Strengthen the development of students' learning engagement; Enhance the positive influence of educational values. By addressing academic burnout from the perspectives of learning satisfaction, learning engagement, and educational values, the study aims to improve students' learning achievements and foster collaboration between schools, teachers, and students to create positive conditions for academic development.
