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.

Abstract
Academic procrastination has increasingly been recognized as a significant source of stress and professional dysfunction among teachers. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying this behavior are not yet fully understood. This study aimed to examine the associations among academic procrastination, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear of negative evaluation in a sample of secondary school teachers, with particular emphasis on the indirect role of fear of negative evaluation in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and academic procrastination. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 444 secondary school teachers who voluntarily participated in the study. Data were collected using the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale-Short Form (IUS-12), Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (BFNE), and Academic Procrastination Scale-Short Form (APS-S) were used. Statistical analyses, conducted using SPSS 29.0 and JASP, including descriptive statistics, reliability analyses, Pearson correlations, hierarchical regression, and regression-based mediation analysis with bootstrapping. The results indicated that intolerance of uncertainty was positively associated with academic procrastination (B = 0.088, SE = 0.030,
