Abstract Core Self-Evaluations are linked to career success, yet the person-environment factor mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. This meta-analysis (N = 135,809) synthesized the evidence on whether person task performance and LMX environment mediate the effects of CSE on career success both objective (salary) and subjective (job satisfaction) indicators. This study employed meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) to test direct and indirect pathways. Results integrating tournament theory and LMX theory show that CSE positively relates to task performance and LMX, both of which in turn relate to salary and job satisfaction. A significant sequential mediation More >

Abstract A meta-analysis was conducted to systematically examine the relationship between adolescent psychological resilience and subjective well-being, including its tripartite components and potential moderators. Relevant literature was systematically searched across domestic and international databases, yielding 112 eligible studies comprising 115 independent samples (N = 78,018 adolescents). Significant positive correlations were identified between psychological resilience and both subjective well-being (r = 0.508, p < 0.001) and its components: life satisfaction (r = 0.470, p < 0.001) and positive affect (r = 0.465, p < 0.001). A weak negative correlation emerged with negative affect (r = −0.253, p < 0.001). Heterogeneity analysis revealed… More >

Abstract Background: The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) remains controversial. Hence, the study sought to explore its value in stage I OEC patients. Methods: Stage I OEC patients (1988–2018) were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Multivariate Cox analysis was used to control confounders. Logistic regression was used to explore factors associated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the survival benefits. Single-center clinical data and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines provided external validation. Result: Adjuvant chemotherapy correlated with improved survival (Hazard… More >

Abstract The natural language processing (NLP) domain has witnessed significant advancements with the emergence of transformer-based models, which have reshaped the text understanding and generation landscape. While their capabilities are well recognized, there remains a limited systematic synthesis of how these models perform across tasks, scale efficiently, adapt to domains, and address ethical challenges. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to analyze the performance of transformer-based models across various NLP tasks, their scalability, domain adaptation, and the ethical implications of such models. This meta-analysis paper synthesizes findings from 25 peer-reviewed studies on NLP transformer-based models,… More >

Abstract Objectives: Checkpoint inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes in a number of malignancies. To determine the most effective course of treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), this systematic review evaluated the efficacy of several therapeutic approaches based on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods: A comprehensive evaluation of the literature was conducted, looking at randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that were published in Embase, PubMed, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials since database establishment. The risk of bias of the enrolled studies was analyzed using The Review Manager (RevMan) 5.4. Using network meta-analyses… More >

Abstract Background: considering the significant issue of learning burnout among university students, it is essential to investigate the connection between mindfulness and learning burnout. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to thoroughly examine the direct and indirect relationships between mindfulness and learning burnout. Methods: a comprehensive literature search was conducted in Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases until 07 July 2024. A comprehensive literature review analysis of 19 articles was included, which identified three dimensions of learning burnout: emotions, behaviors, and outcomes, determined the indirect and direct relationships between mindfulness and learning burnout, and… More >

Abstract Objectives: The current study aimed to perform a meta-analysis to comprehensively investigate effect of physical activity on cognitive function in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment. The findings of this study can offer an important basis for identifying the significance of physical activity as an important factor in designing and implementing strategies to enhance cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment. Methods: 21 articles were selected through academic databases (EBSCOhost, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science), and 20 Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) data and 15 Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) data were obtained. The study was conducted using the… More >

Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive condition with a poor prognosis in children. Lung transplantation (Ltx) remains the ultimate option when patients are refractory to PAH-specific therapy. Reverse Potts shunt (RPS) has been introduced to treat suprasystemic PAH. This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of suprasystemic PAH in children. Methods Embase, Pubmed, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched for related studies that reported the clinical outcomes of suprasystemic PAH following RPS in children. To investigate the clinical outcomes of RPS, meta-analyses of the early and overall mortalities were performed. Results Nine studies… More >

Abstract Introduction: The evidence on the effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients undergoing bladder cancer surgery remains lacking. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of prehabilitation on reducing postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing bladder cancer surgery.
Materials and methods: This systematic review included randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of prehabilitation on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing bladder cancer surgery. A comprehensive search was conducted, with two reviewers independently screening articles and extracting data. The Cochrane Collaboration’s tool was used to assess risk of bias, and GRADE to rate… More >
