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
Objective: Teacher stress is a global concern with significant consequences for health, performance, and educational quality. While most studies address stress as a harmful phenomenon, emerging evidence suggests that an individual's mindset toward stress can influence both psychological and physiological outcomes. This study investigated whether a brief video-based mindset intervention could alter stress perception and modulate biological stress markers among public school teachers in Brazil. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 63 teachers allocated into intervention ( Results: The intervention significantly improved stress mindset scores immediately after the intervention and at follow-up ( Discussion: The findings support the effectiveness of a brief, low-cost intervention in shifting stress mindsets and producing acute physiological and cognitive benefits. However, the transient nature of the hormonal response underscores the need for sustained or complementary strategies to reinforce long-term stress resilience. This study highlights the value of mindset-based approaches in educational settings and their potential for improving teacher well-being through psychoneuroendocrinological mechanisms.
