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

backgroundTo investigate the relationship between occupational stress and burnout among primary and secondary school physical education (PE) teachers and its underlying mechanisms.

methodStudy 1 utilized a large cross-sectional sample of 4,397 teachers and employed multiverse-style analysis to examine the robustness of the relationship between occupational stress and burnout. Study 2 applied a 21-day diary method to a sample of 324 teachers to explore the intrinsic mechanisms through which occupational stress affects burnout.

resultsStudy 1 found a positive and robust relationship between occupational stress and burnout. Study 2 revealed that rumination and negative emotions act as a chain mediation mechanism in the influence of occupational stress on burnout.

conclusionThese findings have significant practical and theoretical implications for improving the quality of physical education and students' physical fitness.
