1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Amidst the rapid reshaping of the healthcare sector by New Quality Productive Forces (NQPFs), an advanced productivity paradigm is characterized by innovation-driven, high-tech, high-efficiency, and high-quality features. This study investigates young medical professionals (18-40 years). As the core workforce driving medical innovation, their professional identity and job autonomy directly influence the development of NQPFs. Objective: This study aims to explore the relationship between perceived social support and professional identity among young medical professionals within the New Quality Productive Forces (NQPFs) framework, using a parallel mediation model to examine the independent mediating roles of role cognition and work autonomy. The findings are intended to generate hypotheses and provide a theoretical basis for future longitudinal research, which can inform the development of evidence-based policies. Methods: A total of 730 young professionals (aged 18-40 years) from 12 Grade A Tertiary Hospitals in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, completed online questionnaires. Measurement instruments included Chinese versions of the Professional Identity Scale, Role Cognition Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Work Autonomy Scale. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics with SPSS software and structural equation modeling (SEM) for testing mediating effects via AMOS software. Results: Perceived social support significantly influenced professional identity, with a total effect of Conclusion: This study confirmed that perceived social support among young medical professionals directly influences their professional identity, while also indirectly affecting it through role cognition. The mediating role of work autonomy was not substantiated. These findings deepened the understanding of professional identity formation mechanisms in healthcare talent and highlighted the pivotal role of social support and role cognition within the New Quality Productive Forces (NQPFs) context.
