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
With the increasing prevalence of digital technology, its impacts on worker well-being remain a critical area of inquiry. However, existing research often neglects the dual effects of digital empowerment, particularly in resource-constrained rural contexts. By exploring how digital technology empowerment influences psychological well-being among rural homestay practitioners, this study focuses on the mediating roles of job autonomy and technology anxiety, as well as the moderating role of digital technology self-efficacy. Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this study analyzes survey data from 277 rural homestay practitioners in China using structural equation modeling. The results reveal that digital technological empowerment enhances psychological well-being by increasing perceived job autonomy, and likewise negatively affects it by increasing perceived technology anxiety. Additionally, digital technology self-efficacy amplifies the positive effects of empowerment on psychological well-being, but it has a limited impact on reducing technology anxiety. This study extends SDT to the digital technology context and provides a comprehensive understanding of its dual effects on well-being. Practically, the findings offer actionable recommendations for optimizing technology design, strengthening organizational support systems, and fostering user confidence.
