1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPrimary school teachers are experiencing unprecedented occupational stress due to technological demands, varied student needs, and the enduring psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although burnout research is extensive globally, evidence regarding Greek primary educators remains scarce, particularly in post-pandemic contexts where Mediterranean cultural values, economic constraints, and centralized governance may yield unique patterns.

methodsThis cross-sectional study examined professional burnout among 102 primary school teachers in Achaia prefecture, Greece, during autumn 2022. The Greek-validated Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey assessed emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. The psychological impact of COVID-19 was evaluated alongside demographic and occupational factors. Analyses included descriptive statistics, nonparametric tests, correlation analyses, hierarchical clustering, and multiple regression models.

resultsThe sample exhibited mixed burnout profiles, with 42.2% indicating low emotional exhaustion (while 35.3% showed high levels) and 67.6% showing minimal depersonalization. Bivariate analysis revealed that the psychological burden of COVID-19 was significantly correlated with depersonalization (r = 0.339,

conclusionsGreek primary school teachers demonstrated remarkable resilience after the pandemic, maintaining professional effectiveness despite emotional challenges. The suppression effect observed for COVID-19 burden-significantly associated with depersonalization bivariately but with emotional exhaustion multivariately-highlights the importance of examining both direct and demographically mediated stress pathways. The dimensional independence observed, particularly personal achievement's resilience to external stressors, contests unified burnout models and indicates that targeted interventions addressing specific burnout dimensions may be more effective than holistic approaches.
