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

Introduction: Although workload and emotional demands are recognized as key antecedents of job burnout, research focusing on preschool teachers has rarely compared their relative effects or explored whether burnout may function simultaneously as a mediator and a moderator. Using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) and Conservation of Resources (COR) frameworks, this study examines how these job demands influence preschool teachers' turnover intention through job burnout, and whether burnout amplifies these associations. Methods: A two-stage survey was administered to 200 preschool teachers in Taiwan. Measures included workload, emotional demands, job burnout, and turnover intention. Data were analyzed using mediation and moderation analysis. Results: Workload and emotional demands both significantly and positively predicted turnover intention through job burnout. Moreover, job burnout moderated the effect of workload on turnover intention, with the relationship becoming stronger at higher burnout levels. Discussion: These findings underscore the dual role of job burnout and highlight the need for early childhood education administrators to reduce job demands, implement burnout prevention strategies, and stabilize the preschool teaching workforce.
