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
Background: In the face of a global nursing shortage, nursing interns are crucial to sustaining the healthcare workforce. However, these interns encounter significant challenges in career decision-making, often exacerbated by the impostor phenomenon, which impedes their capacity to make informed choices. Despite its importance, little research has been reported on the specific conditions and contributing factors that affect nursing interns' career decision-making processes. Objective: To understand the current status of nursing interns' impostor phenomenon, psychological resilience, and career decision-making difficulties, and to validate the mediating role of psychological resilience between impostor phenomenon and career decision-making difficulties using structural equation modeling. Methods: Five hundred eighty-two nursing interns from four tertiary hospitals in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China were selected by stratified random sampling. Data were collected with the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale, Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire, and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale through an online survey. Mediation effect tests were conducted using SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS software. Results: (1) The score for career decision-making difficulties was 99.34 (SD = 21.78), the score for impostor phenomenon was 57.58 (SD = 12.13), and the score of psychological resilience was 32.11 (SD = 8.50); (2) Psychological resilience had a significant negative correlation with career decision-making difficulties ( Conclusion: Career decision-making difficulties are common among nursing interns. Effective strategies should address the impostor phenomenon and promote psychological resilience to enhance self-awareness and create a supportive environment.
