Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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 management responsibilities are shifting from employers to employees in the new career era. However, the complex relationship between organizational career management and individual career management and their joint effects on career growth remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of basic psychological needs and individual career management in the relationship between organizational career management and career growth among nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted. A total of 1866 nurses were recruited from 8 tertiary hospitals and 7 secondary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China, between January 6 and 20, 2021. The Organizational Career Management Questionnaire, Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale, Individual Career Management Questionnaire, and Career Growth Scale for Nurses were used to collect data. Structural equation modeling with the bootstrapping method was used to examine the hypothesized model.
resultsSerial multiple mediation analysis revealed that the relationship between organizational career management and career growth was mediated by basic psychological needs (standardized estimate = 0.245, 95% CI [0.228, 0.305]) and individual career management (standardized estimate = 0.238, 95% CI [0.196, 0.331]). The total mediation effect accounted for 68.5% of the pathway from organizational career management to career growth.
conclusionIn addition to organizational career management, basic psychological needs and individual career management deserve more attention to foster nurses' career growth.
