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/
objectivesMental health challenges among university students represent a growing public health concern, underscoring the need to understand how psychological resources shape students' responses to academic stress. Grounded in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) framework, this study examined how academic demands (time pressure, college life stress, and social comparison) and a key resource (social support) relate to academic burnout and whether these relationships are moderated by self-compassion.
methodsParticipants were 323 Korean undergraduates, including 187 traditional students and 136 adult learners. A moderated moderation analysis was conducted using PROCESS Model 3 to examine the interactive effects of learner type, self-compassion, and academic demands/resources on academic burnout.
resultsCollege life stress and social comparison showed robust positive associations with academic burnout, whereas time pressure showed a weaker association. Social support was not directly associated with lower burnout; instead, its protective role emerged only at moderate to high levels of self-compassion. Self-compassion also demonstrated a differentiated moderating effect across learner groups. Among traditional students, higher self-compassion weakened the association between social comparison and burnout. Among adult learners, the relationship between social support and burnout varied according to levels of self-compassion.
conclusionsSelf-compassion emerged as a developmentally relevant personal resource associated with differences in how academic demands and resources relate to burnout. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of external resources may depend on individuals' capacity to interpret and utilize them, highlighting the importance of self-compassion in both theoretical models of academic burnout and targeted mental health interventions in higher education.
