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: Occupational well-being (OW) has gained increasing attention in recent years; however, limited research has focused on university and college faculty-despite their high levels of burnout and job dissatisfaction. This study examines the impact of university presidents' transformational leadership (TL) on faculty OW, and explores the mediating roles of job crafting and teaching efficacy in this relationship. Methods: A total of 555 faculty members from various higher education institutions in Shandong Province, China, voluntarily participated in an online survey. CB-SEM was applied to examine direct and indirect relationships among the variables, with bootstrapping techniques employed to test mediation effects. Results: The results revealed that: (1) presidents' TL significantly and positively predicted faculty OW; (2) job crafting partially mediated the relationship between TL and OW; and (3) teaching efficacy also partially mediated this relationship. Discussion: These findings suggest that transformational leadership by university presidents not only directly enhances faculty well-being but also exerts indirect effects through job crafting and teaching efficacy. This study provides valuable insights for higher education administrators seeking to promote faculty well-being through effective leadership strategies.
