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

Background/Introduction: Based on the Job Demands-Resources model, this study examines how six dimensions of the working environment shape teacher occupational well-being (TOWB) in the context of high-stakes primary education systems. Methods: Drawing on a 2020 national survey of 25,028 Chinese primary school teachers, the study employed CEM and SEM to analyze the data and provide convergent evidence for causal inferences. Results: Findings reveal a moderate TOWB level with significant demographic variations. The six-dimensional working environment explains 71.6% of the variance in TOWB. Specifically, professional development and policy support are the strongest positive predictors, whereas workload exerts a robust negative impact. Furthermore, school culture partially mediates the relationship between the environment and TOWB. Discussion: The results highlight the necessity of workload audits, tailored professional development, and faithful policy implementation. This study offers contextual, methodological, and conceptual extensions of JD-R theory within the primary education sector.
