The threshold moderating effect of self-efficacy: a nonlinear transformation mechanism of work passion on job satisfaction among sports practitioners.

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
Despite the global sports industry's growth, practitioners face a systemic satisfaction crisis inadequately explained by traditional linear models (e.g., JD-R model) or existing nonlinear frameworks (e.g., COR theory's resource caravans), which fail to capture sport-specific dynamics and threshold effects of key cognitive resources. Focusing on China's unique high-pressure context (e.g., policy shifts like the "Double Reduction"), this study proposes and validates the Passion-Efficacy Synergistic Gain (PESG) framework, positioning self-efficacy (SE) as a critical nonlinear cognitive transformer moderating the passion-satisfaction link. Using multi-wave longitudinal data from 1,384 Chinese sports practitioners (coaches, athletes, technical staff), we employed threshold regression and 3D response surface analysis (RSA). Work passion was measured as a composite score representing total affective investment (mean of Harmonious Passion, HP, and Obsessive Passion, OP, subscale totals), capturing overall motivational resource magnitude.
