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

This cross-sectional study investigates how perseverance influences life satisfaction among academics, highlighting the novel role of self-compassion and psychological flexibility as parallel mediators. A total of 305 academics from various universities in Türkiye (34% female, 66% male; Mage = 40.22, SD = 8.56) completed standardized measures of life satisfaction, perseverance, self-compassion, and psychological flexibility. Correlational analyses revealed positive associations among all variables. Structural equation modeling indicated that perseverance enhances self-compassion, which in turn promotes psychological flexibility, ultimately increasing life satisfaction. These findings clarify the psychological mechanisms through which perseverance supports well-being and provide evidence-based insights for developing interventions to reduce stress and foster resilience among higher education professionals.
