When Compassion Matters Most: Self-Efficacy as a Moderator of Compassion Effects on Teacher Performance Perceptions.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Teacher well-being and performance represent critical challenges for educational systems worldwide. While organizational compassion has been identified as a protective resource, it remains unclear for whom compassion is most beneficial. Drawing on Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we examined whether teachers' self-efficacy moderates the relationship between workplace compassion and performance perceptions, testing differential patterns for individual versus organizational performance evaluations. Italian public-school teachers (N = 218; 82% female; M teaching experience = 11.6 years) completed an online survey measuring compassion at work, self-efficacy, and perceptions of individual and organizational performance. We employed a two-stage approach, first validating the measurement model through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), then testing moderation hypotheses using path analysis with mean-centered variables. Bootstrap confidence intervals (5000 iterations) verified the reliability of interaction effects. Self-efficacy significantly moderated the effect of compassion on individual performance perceptions (β = -0.006,
