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
backgroundThis study examines the impact of academic burnout on adolescents' psychological and social well-being, emphasizing the role of optimism as a mediator in this relationship. The aim is to understand how burnout influences these dimensions to inform targeted interventions that promote resilience and mental health in educational contexts.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,092 adolescent students (53.5% female, aged 12-17 years, M = 14.5, SD = 1.11) from six schools in Almería, Spain. Participants were selected through a cluster-based random sampling method and completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey, Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, Keyes Social Well-Being Scale, and the Optimism-Pesimism Questionnaire. Descriptive, correlational, and mediation analyses were performed using SPSS and the PROCESS macro.
resultsHigh levels of academic burnout were associated with significantly lower psychological and social well-being, as well as reduced optimism. Optimism was found to partially mediate the relationship between academic burnout and well-being, accounting for its negative associations with both psychological and social dimensions.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the role of optimism as a mediator in the relationship between academic burnout and adolescents' well-being. The study underscores the need for intervention strategies that focus on promoting optimism to reduce burnout and enhance mental health in educational settings. Future research should further explore these dynamics across different educational stages and cultural contexts.
