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

backgroundThis study investigates the attitudinal and behavioral consequences of Work-Life Balance (WLB) among teachers, focusing on the mediating role of Psychological Contract Violation (PCV).

methodsAn applied, descriptive-correlational survey design was employed. The target population included all English language teachers in Golestan Province (N = 598), from which a simple random sample of 234 was selected. A total of 152 usable responses were obtained. The measurement model was assessed for internal consistency using composite reliability, and for convergent validity using Average Variance Extracted (AVE). Discriminant validity was evaluated through the Fornell-Larcker criterion. Descriptive statistics were analyzed using SPSS, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was performed using SmartPLS.

resultsWLB was negatively associated with PCV (β = - 0.209) and turnover intention (β = - 0.386), and positively associated with job performance (β = 0.252) and tardiness (β = 0.322). PCV significantly mediated the relationships between WLB and turnover intention (β = 0.366), tardiness (β = 0.325), and job performance (β = - 0.339).

conclusionImproving WLB and strengthening the psychological contract can reduce negative outcomes such as turnover intention and performance decline. However, the positive link between WLB and tardiness highlights the need for culturally responsive policy design.
