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 employability of vocational preschool education students is essential for both individual career development and the broader quality of early childhood education. This study examines the associations between school connectedness and the employability of vocational preschool education students, focusing on the mediating roles of future work self-salience and learning engagement. A total of 537 vocational preschool education students (M = 19.17, SD = 0.86, 96.3% female) participated in this study. Participants completed the School Connectedness Scale, Future Work Self-Salience Scale, Learning Engagement Scale, and Employability Scale for Preschool Education Students. Structural equation modeling in Mplus8.3 was used to test the hypothesized chain mediation model. The results revealed that (1) school connectedness is positively associated with employability; (2) Both future work self-salience and learning engagement mediate the relationship between school connectedness and employability; (3) future work self-salience and learning engagement act as sequential mediators between school connectedness and employability. These findings suggest that a connected and supportive school environment is positively related to students’ employability by encouraging a clear career orientation and active learning engagement.
