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
Improving the rate at which individuals enter STEM careers remains a national concern. STEM fields are currently facing a crisis with respect to filling jobs with qualified workers, suggesting that STEM jobs are available yet remain open and waiting for qualified graduates. While researchers have previously investigated variables, such as demographics and attrition rates for the lack of STEM graduates available to fill job vacancies in the STEM workforce, there is a critical need for additional research examining the impact of structured career development. In this article, we describe the development and evaluation of an assessment designed to measure career self-efficacy and career outcome expectations, two central factors of Social Cognitive Career Theory, and present evidence of validity in our population of students. The assessment was administered to students attending an R1 Hispanic Serving Institution in the southeastern United States during Spring 2022 (
