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
Purpose: The transition from school to work is an important stage in the career development of university students, and precarious employment during this period can significantly impact their early career success. In today's unstable employment environment, this study examines how employment instability during the transition from school to work directly and indirectly affects college students' subjective career success. This contributes to a thorough understanding of this transitional period and provides university students with the necessary resources to cope with a smooth transition from school to work. Patients and Methods: We recruited senior students at five universities in Harbin, China, from May to July 2022. After obtaining participants' consent, questionnaires were distributed via social media, resulting in 967 valid questionnaires. Based on this sample, we examined the chain mediating effect of financial stress and occupational self-efficacy in the association between precarious employment and career success and the moderating effect of employability. Results: The study found that precarious employment hurts career success and can also affect career success by increasing financial stress and decreasing occupational self-efficacy among college students. At the same time, financial stress can also decrease students' self-efficacy. Finally, employability can reduce the adverse effects of precarious employment on career success and occupational self-efficacy. Conclusion: The link between employment instability and subjective career success during the transition from school to work has been demonstrated for university students. Employment instability not only increases college students' financial stress but also reduces career self-efficacy, which in turn affects college students' perceptions of early subjective career success. Importantly, employability plays a positive role in the smooth school-to-work transition and subjective career success of university students.
