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
backgroundCareer adaptability enables individuals to navigate their career paths and address workplace challenges by gaining insight into themselves and their profession, empowering them to make informed decisions. This study was performed to reveal the association of nursing and midwifery students' personality traits and professional behavior with career adaptability.
methodThis cross-sectional study's sample consisted of nursing and midwifery students in the medical sciences of a state university in Tabriz (n = 210). The data were collected using the Student Information Questionnaire, Students Professional Behavior Questionnaire, Ten Item Personality Inventory, and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale. Descriptive tests and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the variables that affect the career adaptability of students.
resultsThe mean (SD) points on the personality trait sub-dimensions of nursing and midwifery students were highest in agreeableness 8.95 (3.03) and lowest in extraversion 7.54 (2.30). The mean (SD) on the Scale of Student's Professional Behavior and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale were 114.88 (14.14) and 97.22 (15.59), respectively. The statistically significant association between the personality traits, Student's Professional Behavior, with career adaptability scores were weak and moderate, respectively. The 3 regression models used to determine the variables that affect the career adaptability of nursing students were significant. Of the variables in the models, professional behavior, extraversion, and how to choose a field (voluntary or non-voluntary) significantly influenced the total score on career adaptability. And the greatest impact was related to the professional behavior (β = 0.373, P < 0.001).
conclusionThe results showed a direct correlation between personality traits with career adaptability. Also, high professional behavior and the voluntary choice of study field can be effective on career adaptability. The results suggest informing the students to choose the right field and planning and carrying out the necessary interventions to provide the proper education on professional behaviors. In addition, creating opportunities to improve personality traits can help the students' career adaptability.
