Human-Machine Collaboration Depth and Teacher Burnout: A Dual-Path Moderated Mediation Model of Empowerment and Depletion.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
This study investigates how human-machine collaboration depth is associated with teacher burnout during educational digital transformation. Grounded in Conservation of Resources theory, cross-sectional survey data from 489 Chinese university teachers were analyzed using structural equation modeling and conditional process analysis. Results indicated that human-machine collaboration depth was negatively associated with teacher burnout, mediated in parallel by digital burden and teacher agency. Within the present sample, the indirect inverse association via teacher agency was numerically larger in magnitude than the positive association via digital burden. Furthermore, perceived algorithmic control acted as a boundary condition. High levels of perceived algorithmic control strengthened the link to digital burden and weakened the protective role of teacher agency. Although the cross-sectional design precludes definitive causal inferences, this study advances a competitive integration perspective of technology use. The findings extend algorithmic management theory to higher education, indicating that mitigating occupational strain requires governance frameworks that prioritize professional autonomy over rigid algorithmic surveillance.
