The impact of athlete burnout on academic burnout among college athletes: a multiple mediation model based on emotion regulation and sleep.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Background: College athletes often face dual demands from training and academics, increasing their risk of both athletic and academic burnout. However, the transfer mechanism between these two forms of burnout remains underexplored, especially regarding the roles of emotional regulation and sleep. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,918 college athletes using validated self-report measures. Structural equation modeling was applied to examine the direct and indirect effects of college athlete burnout on academic burnout, with cognitive reappraisal and sleep quality as mediators. Results: College athlete burnout significantly predicted academic burnout (β = 0.412, Conclusion: Athlete burnout can spill over into academic burnout among college athletes. Beyond confirming this relationship, the study highlights the critical roles of emotional regulation and sleep quality as mechanisms linking the two domains. These findings provide theoretical insight into burnout transfer and underscore the importance of integrating psychological skills training and sleep management into interventions aimed at supporting student-athletes' academic adjustment and mental health.
