Development and validation of the perceived university employment support scale among undergraduate students.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
Introduction: Grounded in social support theory, this study aims to develop and validate the Perceived University Employment Support Scale (PUESS) to systematically evaluate the role of higher education institutions in facilitating graduates' successful transition into the labor market. Methods: Two studies were conducted to develop and validate the PUESS. Study 1 involved item generation, preliminary selection, and initial validation based on exploratory analyses. Study 2 further tested the construct validity, criterion-related validity, and measurement invariance of the finalized 20-item scale. Data were collected from diverse samples of university graduates to ensure representativeness. Results: The PUESS demonstrated strong internal consistency and robust construct validity across studies. The scale also showed comparable criterion-related validity to the University Student Social Support Scale and exhibited measurement invariance across gender, educational levels, and institutional types. Discussion: The findings provide empirical support for understanding how university-based employment support contributes to graduates' career development. The PUESS offers a reliable and practical tool for assessing institutional employment support and provides actionable insights for education administrators and policymakers aiming to enhance employment services in higher education.
