Kindergarten teachers' compassion fatigue: decreasing with empathic ability or empathic motivation or both?
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Compassion fatigue, often referred to as the "cost of caring," reflects a form of empathy deficit. However, it remains unclear whether it stems from a diminishment in empathic ability, empathic motivation, or both. To address this gap, we developed a hierarchical regression and structural equation model using survey data from 1,161 kindergarten teachers. The findings revealed that both empathic ability and empathic motivation significantly and negatively predicted compassion fatigue. Specifically, job burnout was negatively predicted by both empathic ability and empathic motivation, whereas secondary stress was negatively predicted by empathic motivation but not by empathic ability. Theoretical and practical implications, along with directions for future research, are discussed.
