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

backgroundThis study investigated the relationship between psychological stress and subjective well-being among aviation ground crews, with a focus on the mediating roles of social support and self-esteem.

methodsIn this cross-sectional investigation, 533 ground crew members completed validated assessments, including the Stress Self-evaluation Test, the Perceived Social Support Scale, the Self-liking/Self-competence Scale-Revised, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale. Statistical analyses were performed via R software and Mplus.

results(1) Single participants presented significantly lower subjective well-being than married individuals did (p = 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.349). (2) Psychological stress (r = - 0.527, p < 0.001), social support (r = 0.579, p < 0.001), and self-esteem (r = 0.678, p < 0.001) were significantly correlated with subjective well-being. (3) Three distinct mediation pathways emerged: the social support-mediated pathway, self-esteem-mediated pathway, and a chain-mediating effect through social support-self-esteem.

conclusionsPsychological stress was significantly associated with reduced subjective well-being in aviation ground crews, with tentative evidence of mediation through social support and self-esteem. Interventions targeting these psychosocial resources may improve well-being, but require further validation.
