Article in Annals of neurosciences, 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
Background: Escalating workplace stress has made employee well-being a global concern, necessitating the identification of factors and underlying mechanisms that impair psychological health. Against this backdrop, examining burnout as a potential workplace stressor and its implications for employee well-being is both timely and crucial. Purpose: Building upon the Stress Appraisal Theory, this study endeavoured to assess the impact of burnout on employee well-being at work in terms of their work engagement and job satisfaction. The relationship between these variables has been elucidated through the lens of a moderated mediation framework of psychological capital (PsyCap) and psychological distress. Specifically, the contribution of psychological distress in mediating the relationship between burnout and employee workplace well-being was ascertained. Further, the function of PsyCap in alleviating the influence of burnout on the workplace well-being of employees was examined. Methods: This study proposed a moderated mediation model exploring the underlying and intervening mechanisms of the association between burnout and employee workplace well-being, with reference to psychological distress and PsyCap. The model was tested among 439 human service professionals using a two-step approach to structural equation modelling. Results: The findings revealed that burnout results in poor workplace well-being of employees in terms of work disengagement and job dissatisfaction through an indirect relationship via psychological distress. Further, it was found that PsyCap has moderated this indirect relationship such that employees with high PsyCap suffer less from the repercussions of burnout and subsequent psychological distress. Conclusion: The study highlights the role of personal factors in a comprehensible model of burnout and well-being. Insights about such factors and their latent processes are indispensable for designing effective mental health interventions at work.
