Job demands, job resources, and burnout among metro site management personnel in China: a cross-sectional study based on the JD-R model.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Burnout has been widely examined in healthcare, education, and public-sector occupations, but less is known about employees working in high-risk, project-based environments. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study examined the relationships of job demands and job resources with burnout among metro site management personnel in China. Methods: A two-stage cross-sectional survey was conducted. A pilot survey with 140 valid responses was used to refine the measurement scales, followed by a formal survey with 274 valid responses. Burnout was assessed through exhaustion, cynicism, and low professional efficacy. Reliability, validity, correlation, and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. Results: Exhaustion (M = 4.502) and cynicism (M = 4.237) were more pronounced than low professional efficacy (M = 3.638). Job demands were positively associated with burnout, whereas job resources were negatively associated with burnout. Workload showed the largest standardized coefficient among the separate demand-side regression models (β = 0.608). Social support, distributive justice, and career development opportunities showed the strongest negative associations among the resource-side models. Discussion: The findings support the applicability of the JD-R framework in high-risk, project-based metro construction settings and highlight workload management and organizational resources as practical priorities. Because the study was cross-sectional and based on self-reported data, the results should be interpreted as associations rather than causal effects.
