Research on the factors influencing the identity of Chinese doctor of education candidates.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Doctor of Education (Ed.D) candidates are facing an identity crisis, and enhancing their identity has become an urgent issue. This study applies grounded theory methodology, targeting 32 Ed.D candidates from a university in China. Data were collected through semi-structured focus groups and one-on-one interviews, and analyzed using Nvivo11, following open, axial, and selective coding processes. The study found that cognitive tendency, doctoral motivation, emotional experience, and professional identity are the subjective factors influencing Ed.D candidates' identity. Learning environment, training model, relationship network, and development opportunity are the objective factors. Based on these findings, the study analyzed the deep-seated relationships between influencing factors and identity, establishing a model of influencing factors. Finally, targeted and systematic strategies to enhance the identity of Ed.D candidates were proposed based on the research conclusions.
