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
Background: This study explored how perceived social support affects firefighters' psychological capital through the chain mediating role of exercise self-efficacy and psychological resilience. Methods: Firefighters from a Jiangsu Province fire rescue team ( Results: The sample consisted of 99.6% males, with ages mainly concentrated between 30-45 years, and an average service length of more than 10 years. Perceived social support was significantly positively correlated with psychological capital ( Conclusion: Perceived social support enhances firefighters' psychological capital both directly and indirectly through sequential improvements in exercise self-efficacy and psychological resilience. Fire departments should create supportive team environments and integrate physical training with psychological resilience cultivation to improve firefighters' psychological capital and mental health.
