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
Emotional labor is inherently intensive in preschool teaching, and it is often conceptualized as resource loss, which may heighten burnout and hinder early childhood education quality-improvement initiatives. Accordingly, this study shifts attention to the resource-enhancing potential of authentic emotional displays and examines the mechanisms linking authentic displays to preschool teachers' burnout, with psychological capital and family-work conflict as key mediators. Using cross-sectional survey data from 234 preschool teachers in Jiangxi Province, China, and structural equation modeling, we observed that authentic emotional displays were associated with lower burnout primarily through psychological capital, with an additional sequential association via psychological capital and family-work conflict, whereas the pathway through family-work conflict alone was not supported. These findings suggest a potential role of authentic emotional displays in relation to psychological resources and family-to-work spillover, extending emotional labor research and providing insights for interventions aimed at reducing preschool teacher burnout. The study challenges the prevailing resource loss perspective of emotional labor, clarifies psychological capital as a central mechanism linking authenticity to cross-domain strain and teacher well-being, and emphasizes the importance of interventions that strengthen psychological resources and boundary management.
