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
Objectives: To explore the relationship between depression, self-efficacy, academic burnout, and social support among undergraduate students majoring in eldercare services in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 957 students majoring in eldercare services across four provinces of China. The study employed questionnaires based on the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Learning Burnout Scale, and Perceived Social Support Scale. Using SPSS 22.0 for descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation analysis, and constructed a moderated mediation model using PROCESS. Results: The findings reveal that 26.92% of students suffer from academic burnout. Depression is significantly negatively correlated with self-efficacy, positively correlated with academic burnout. Self-efficacy is negatively correlated with academic burnout. The results of the moderated mediation model showed that the mediating effect value of self-efficacy on depression and academic burnout was 0.139, accounting for 19.02% of the total effect. The interaction term between depression and social support has a negative effect on self-efficacy β = -0.203, and a positive effect on academic burnout Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between depression and academic burnout among undergraduate students majoring in eldercare services. Self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between depression and academic burnout, while social support plays a moderating role.
