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.

Abstract
Introduction: The study aims to explore the role of emotion regulation and teaching self-efficacy in predicting work engagement among Chinese English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) teachers in the higher education sector. Methods: A quantitative approach was employed to conduct this research. Three validated questionnaires were distributed to Chinese college EFL teachers with diverse experiences and academic backgrounds. A total of 495 teachers completed the questionnaires. The questionnaires assessed emotion regulation, teaching self-efficacy, and work engagement. Correlational analyses were initially performed to examine the relationships among these variables. Additionally, structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to further investigate the predictive power of teaching self-efficacy and emotion regulation on work engagement. Results: The correlational analyses showed a strong association between emotion regulation, teaching self-efficacy, and work engagement. The results of the structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that teaching self-efficacy significantly and favorably predicted work engagement among Chinese college EFL teachers. In contrast, emotion regulation did not show obvious contributing power towards work engagement in Chinese higher education EFL context. Discussion: The findings reflect unique features of Chinese college EFL teachers' work engagement and provide useful implications for college EFL teachers and educational authorities in that it is suggested more time and energy should be invested in facilitating teachers with their psychological and emotional well-being along with pedagogical concerns.
