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
We investigated the association between self-efficacy and career exploration and career adaptability of students majoring in physical education via psychological well-being because these students undergo a critical phase during their career exploration because of an inclination towards reevaluating reality, realising their thoughts, and developing early professional goals. We used a primary data set collected from universities in two provinces of China. The participants were students with a major in physical education (n = 1381; age = 18-22 years). Students participated in the study by signing an informed consent. Hayes PROCESS model was used to apply multiple mediation model. The results suggest that higher self-efficacy is associated with better career exploration and career adaptability. In addition, four components of psychological well-being played a significant mediating role, and those are self-acceptance, positive relationship with others, personal growth, and purpose in life. The findings suggest that self-efficacy and psychological well-being are predominantly advantageous for the career development of Chinese students enrolled in the field of physical education.
