Soft Skills as a Tool for Post-Pandemic Sustainability: A University-Based Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the psychological vulnerability of university students, making it essential to identify personal resources that can support well-being and career readiness. This study investigates the role of soft skills in predicting psychological outcomes like optimism, resilience, and self-management. A total of 1067 Italian university students completed validated self-report questionnaires. Structural equation modeling showed that soft skills significantly predicted all three psychological resources. Although no significant gender differences emerged, slight variations suggest the adoption of different coping styles. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating soft skill development into university programs to strengthen students' psychological capital and prepare them for the challenges of work and life in the post-COVID-19 era. Promoting inclusive and flexible interventions can support students with diverse characteristics and contribute to the creation of healthier and more equitable academic and occupational environments.
