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

backgroundKindergarten teachers are vulnerable to compassion fatigue, which threatens their physical and mental health. Drawing upon the compassion fatigue model, this study aims to explore the impact of perceived organizational support (POS) on compassion fatigue, while examining the mediating effects of professional identity and emotional intelligence in this relationship.

methodsA convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey with 1104 kindergarten teachers from Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, and Anhui Provinces in China. This study utilized a general information questionnaire, a POS scale, a professional identity scale, an emotional intelligence scale, and a compassion fatigue scale to construct and test a chain mediation model.

resultsThe results showed that (1) POS, professional identity, emotional intelligence, and compassion fatigue, were significantly correlated in pairs, and (2) POS can not only directly affect compassion fatigue, but also affect compassion fatigue through three indirect effects, namely, the separate mediating effect of professional identity and emotional intelligence (mediating effect size - 0.16, -0.24, respectively), and the chain mediating effect of professional identity → emotional intelligence (mediating effect size - 0.09).

conclusionThis study reveals that POS is negatively associated with compassion fatigue, and professional identity and emotional intelligence play a chain mediating role in this relationship. Kindergarten administrators should focus on creating supportive organizational environments, enhancing teachers' professional identity, and improve their emotional intelligence to alleviate compassion fatigue among kindergarten teachers.
