Morningness and academic burnout among university students: the mediating role of procrastination.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMorningness-eveningness preference, which is an individual difference, is associated with the academic burnout of university students. In addition, academic procrastination is common among university students, and students who procrastinate experience more anxiety, stress, and negative thoughts. Therefore, academic procrastination may mediate the relationship between morningness and academic burnout.
methodsThis study examines the effects of academic procrastination and morningness on academic burnout and explores the mediating role of academic procrastination in the relationship between morningness and burnout. A total of 558 university students participated in the study. A total of 119 of these students were male, and 439 were female. The ages of the students ranged from 18 to 22 years.
resultsFemale students had higher exhaustion scores than male students did, and freshman students had higher morningness scores than both sophomore and junior students did. The relationships between all the variables examined were significant. The mediation analyses revealed that procrastination has a partial mediating role in the relationship between the morningness and burnout dimensions.
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that procrastination may help explain some of the links between morningness and burnout. Avoiding the procrastination tendencies of individuals, especially those who are evening-type, may be associated with lower levels of academic burnout, though causality cannot be confirmed due to the cross-sectional nature of the study.
