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
Teachers' mental health is a critical public health concern in South Korea. The current educational environment, characterized by intensifying parent-teacher conflicts, legal disputes, and increasing administrative burdens, demonstrates the limitations of interpreting these challenges solely through the lens of individual vulnerability or resilience. Moral injury can provide a useful explanatory framework for understanding how chronic occupational stressors and institutional betrayal lead to negative mental health outcomes among teachers. In this narrative literature review, we examine new concepts related to teachers' psychological distress, including moral injury, institutional betrayal, secondary trauma, and occupational mental health. With a particular focus on preventive and trauma-informed approaches, we also review international employee assistance program (EAP) models and organizational support systems. International case studies emphasize the importance of confidential EAP services, multidisciplinary support systems, administrative support, and organizational resources to enhance the psychological safety of teachers and promote early intervention. Based on the reviewed literature, this study proposes the development of an independent EAP model for Korean teachers and an institutional support system that reflects an understanding of trauma, with the aim of enhancing teachers' well-being and contributing to the creation of a sustainable education system.
