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

Peer Recovery Support Specialists (PRSS) play a crucial role in the behavioral health (BH) workforce, assisting individuals in their recovery from substance use and mental health challenges. Despite their essential contributions to the BH field, research on resilience among peers remains limited. To address the literature gap, this study examined how PRSS' personal resilience and workplace satisfaction with supervisor and organizational support mediate the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction. Secondary analysis was conducted using cross-sectional survey data of U.S.-based PRSS (N = 454). Validated measures of burnout, personal resilience, job satisfaction, and workplace support were utilized. Path analysis was used to test the hypothesized mediating roles of personal resilience and satisfaction with supervisor and organizational support. The hypothesized model accounted for 42% of the variance in job satisfaction and yielded excellent model fit: χ
