1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study explores the role of emotional labor strategies among Chinese tourism employees in communication contexts, with a focus on mindfulness as a mediating variable and emotional intelligence as a moderating variable, to explore how the two affect tourism employees' career resilience. A survey was conducted among 1479 tourism employees using the Career Resilience Scale, Emotional Labor Strategies Scale, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and Emotional Intelligence Scale. SPSS 26.0 MPLUS 8.3 were used for data statistical analysis. The results found that (1) there is a significant correlation between the research variables; (2) surface acting behavior has a significant negative predictive effect on mindfulness, while authentic behavior has a significant positive predictive effect on both mindfulness and career resilience; Mindfulness can directly and positively predict career resilience. (3) Mindfulness serves as a mediating variable between authentic behavior and career resilience. (4) Emotional intelligence regulates the relationship between mindfulness and career resilience, enabling employees to be more sensitive to the emotions of others and effectively convey them. This study deepens the application of mindfulness and emotional intelligence in emotional labor strategies, and provides empirical evidence for improving the communication efficiency and work motivation of tourism employees.
