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

backgroundTo examine the relationship between psychological well-being and burnout dimensions among university faculty members, as well as the mediating role of emotional exhaustion in the association between psychological well-being and professional accomplishment.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 597 university faculty members from several Spanish universities. Participants completed the Spanish adaptation of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales and the emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were performed.

resultsAll dimensions of psychological well-being were negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and positively associated with professional accomplishment. Environmental mastery emerged as the strongest predictor of lower emotional exhaustion (β = -0.405, p < 0.001) and higher professional accomplishment (β = 0.263, p < 0.001). Mediation analyses indicated that emotional exhaustion partially mediated the relationship between psychological well-being and professional accomplishment.

conclusionsPsychological well-being may function as a protective personal resource associated with lower levels of burnout among university faculty members. In particular, environmental mastery may represent a key psychological resource associated with lower emotional exhaustion and greater professional accomplishment in higher education settings. Interventions aimed at strengthening psychological well-being and reducing emotional exhaustion may contribute to improving occupational mental health in academic professionals.
