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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study explored the relationship between homeroom teachers' time pressure, emotional exhaustion, and students' behavioral problems, as well as the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying these associations. A total of 86 primary and secondary homeroom teachers and 1,287 students were recruited and surveyed via standardized scales. Results showed that teachers experienced moderate time pressure, with administrative work occupying teaching time as the most prominent issue; secondary school teachers reported higher time pressure than primary school teachers. Nearly half of the teachers suffered moderate or above emotional exhaustion, which was more severe among teachers with over 10 years of teaching experience. The overall detection rate of students' behavioral problems was 18.34%, with externalizing problems significantly more severe than internalizing problems. Correlation analyses revealed significant positive associations between teachers' time pressure, emotional exhaustion, and students' behavioral problems. Regression analyses indicated that time pressure and emotional exhaustion positively predicted students' behavioral problems. Further analyses confirmed that emotional exhaustion partially mediated the link between time pressure and students' behavioral problems, while teaching experience moderated the relationship between time pressure and emotional exhaustion. These findings suggest that targeted interventions optimizing teachers' working time allocation and implementing stratified psychological support can effectively reduce teachers' emotional exhaustion and improve students' behavioral development.
