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
Introduction: In the contemporary Chinese educational landscape, characterized by involution ( Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. In the quantitative phase, survey data were collected from 842 primary and secondary school teachers across three Chinese provinces and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). In the qualitative phase, the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) was used with 20 teachers selected through deviant case sampling. Results: SEM revealed that WLB partially mediated the relationships between both burnout ( Discussion: These findings suggest that while PsyCap is a vital personal resource, its effectiveness is constrained by structural and digital boundary fractures within the Chinese school system. Implications for school leadership and policy interventions aimed at protecting teacher mental health in the digital age are discussed.
