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: Athletes' self-identity and professional identity are crucial factors influencing their career development. Against the backdrop of China's competitive sports system transformation, the employment preparation status of athletes requires urgent attention. This study aims to investigate the internal mechanisms among athletes' self-identity, professional identity, and employment preparation adequacy. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed, utilizing a combination of convenience sampling and snowball sampling to administer questionnaires to 160 active and retired athletes. The research instruments included the Self-Identity Scale, Athletes' Professional Identity Scale, and Employment Preparation Adequacy Scale. Results: Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that: athletes' self-identity significantly positively influences their employment preparation adequacy; athletes' professional identity plays a partial mediating role between self-identity and employment preparation adequacy; Bootstrap testing showed that the mediation effect accounts for 18.84% of the total effect. Discussion: The study confirms that athletes' self-identity not only directly affects employment preparation but also exerts indirect influence through professional identity. This provides a theoretical foundation and practical pathways for constructing athlete career support systems centered on the cultivation of psychological capital.
