Which Is More Influential in University Teachers: Work Interfering with Family or Family Interfering with Work? A Network Analysis.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
As university teachers face increasing work pressure and family responsibilities, Work-Family Conflict (WFC) has become a significant factor affecting teachers' psychological health. Based on the Conservation of Resources Theory and network analysis methods, this exploratory study investigates the systematic impact of WFC on teacher job burnout, work engagement, and work connectivity behaviors after-hours. Through data analysis of a sample of 409 university teachers, a partial correlation network model was constructed, revealing patterns, central nodes, and conditional associations between variables that describe how WFC affects the psychological system of teachers. The results show that "Work Interfering with Family (WIF)" holds the highest centrality and bridging effect in the network, acting as a key node connecting multiple dimensions of job burnout, work engagement, and work connectivity behaviors after-hours. Specifically, WIF is directly associated with emotional exhaustion and indirectly weakens work engagement through the mediation of reduced professional efficacy. Additionally, work connectivity behaviors after-hours (WCBA) have a close and significant influence on WIF. This study highlights the pivotal role of WFC in relation to teachers' job burnout, work engagement, and WCBA, providing an exploratory perspective and precise intervention guidelines for intervention strategies.
