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

Purpose: The research investigated the correlation between perceived organizational support and thriving at work among mental health teachers, emphasizing the mediating effects of professional competence and psychological empowerment. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to gather data from 323 mental health teachers via the Perceived Organizational Support Questionnaire, the Professional Competence Questionnaire for Mental Health Teachers, the Psychological Empowerment Scale, and the Thriving at Work Scale. Path analysis and the bootstrap method were applied to examine the relationships and mediating effects among the variables. Results: The findings demonstrated that perceived organizational support positively predicted thriving at work; additionally, both professional competence and psychological empowerment acted as simple mediators and serially mediated the relationship between perceived organizational support and thriving at work. Discussion: The study elucidates the internal mechanism by which perceived organizational support is associated with thriving at work, thereby filling a research gap related to mental health teachers, establishing a theoretical and empirical basis for future investigations, and providing actionable recommendations for school administrators to support thriving at work among mental health teachers.
