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

backgroundTeachers’ mental health is an important factor in ensuring educational quality. From the perspective of positive psychology, this study explores the relationship between teachers’ well-being factors and the organizational context—the perceived school climate, as well as the underlying mechanisms.

methodsBased on a survey of 9,680 teachers (Mage = 39.21, SD=10.20; 32.9% male) in China. Participants completed the School Climate Questionnaire, Life Satisfaction Scale and Subjective Vitality Scale et al. The subsequent analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS and Mplus.

resultsThe results show that school climate has a significantly positively associated with teachers’ well-being indicators (life satisfaction and subjective vitality); teachers’ relatedness need satisfaction and psychological resilience play both individual and serial mediating roles between school climate and well-being indicators (life satisfaction, experience of life meaning, and subjective vitality).

conclusionsResearch findings indicate that a positive school climate can enhance teachers’ sense of belonging and psychological resilience, thereby helping to shape their well-being indicators. Therefore, relevant departments should develop integrated strategies from the perspective of establishing a good work environment to jointly maintain the mental health of the teaching staff.
