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
backgroundThe teaching profession, while rewarding, presents numerous challenges that can adversely affect teachers' psychological well-being and occupational stress. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the psychological well-being and occupational stress among secondary school teachers in Beni Municipality, Nepal, and identify its associated factors.
methodsA total of 231 secondary school teachers were included through a census approach. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires, including the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) and Teacher Stress Scale (TSS). Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with psychological well-being and stress at a 5% level of significance.
resultsThe study found that 60.2% of the teachers experienced psychological distress, while 51.1% reported occupational stress. Factors significantly associated with better psychological well-being included designated teaching level at the secondary level (aOR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.15-4.56), satisfaction with job description and responsibilities (aOR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.33-4.24), and occupational stress (aOR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.16-3.78). In regard to occupational stress, teachers aged 50 years and above (aOR = 3.04, 95% CI: 1.15-8.01), dissatisfaction with salary (aOR = 2.78, 95% CI: 1.10-7.02), and perceiving their job as highly demanding (aOR = 6.50, 95% CI: 2.14-19.76) were significantly associated with higher levels of occupational stress.
conclusionThis study reveals that a significant proportion of secondary school teachers in public schools of Nepal experience psychological distress and occupational stress, with key factors including job satisfaction, salary dissatisfaction, and perceived job demands associated with them. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to improve teachers' well-being, such as improving salary structures, clarifying job roles, offering professional development, providing access to mental health support, and fostering a supportive school environment.
