Occupational stress and white matter integrity: a methodological perspective : Short title: White matter integrity and burnout: considerations.
Article in Brain structure & function, 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
Work-related stress and burnout are increasingly prevalent, yet their neural correlates remain poorly understood. Kokubun and colleagues recently reported that fractional anisotropy in the superior longitudinal fasciculus, internal capsule, and external capsule statistically links workload to cynicism in healthy adults. While the original authors acknowledged several limitations, tract-averaging, FA non-specificity, and the heuristic use of Conservation of Resources theory, we argue that their implications deserve further emphasis. Atlas-based tract averaging may obscure regional variability within functionally distinct SLF subcomponents. FA cannot specify underlying biological mechanisms. And despite explicit qualifications, the metaphorical language of depletion and recharge sits in tension with the cross-sectional data. We suggest that future studies incorporate along-tract profiling, complementary diffusion metrics, and greater conceptual precision to strengthen this promising line of research.
