Academic burnout under geopolitical and economic uncertainty: longitudinal associations with future development anxiety, employment competition pressure, and perceived structural university support.

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: Students may interpret geopolitical and economic change as a threat to future development, but its cross-wave associations with academic burnout remain unclear. Methods: This study analyzed a two-wave convenience sample from four universities in Zhengzhou, China. The baseline sample comprised 1,823 students, of whom 1,215 completed matched follow-up after approximately 5 months. Wave-specific factor analyses, covariance-based confirmatory factor analysis, partial least squares structural equation modeling, and covariance-based sensitivity models were used. Results: After baseline adjustment, T1 perceived geopolitical and economic uncertainty was positively associated with T2 future development anxiety (beta = 0.175, Discussion: The results indicate small to moderate cross-wave between-person associations. They do not establish within-person causation or temporal mediation. Universities may use these patterns to inform targeted support, but intervention effectiveness requires direct evaluation.
