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
Introduction: China's rapidly expanding aviation industry has created an urgent need for a motivated and professionally committed workforce. This study examined whether internship experience influences aviation students' career motivation and professional attitude through the mediating role of professional identity. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 414 aviation service students using validated psychological measures. Mediation analysis was performed using PROCESS Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap samples. Gender and first-choice major were included as covariates. Results: Higher-quality internship experiences significantly enhanced students' professional identity, which strongly predicted both career motivation ( Discussion: These findings demonstrate that internships shape students' long-term career outcomes primarily by strengthening their professional identity rather than through direct experiential effects alone. Professional identity is therefore a critical psychological mechanism in aviation talent development, emphasizing the need for identity-supportive internship programs.
