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 phenomenon of overqualification is widespread and profoundly impacts employees' work attitudes. While existing studies have explored overqualification, limited research has focused on the effects of peer overqualification on employees' dualistic work passion through affective and cognitive mechanisms. Grounded in the theoretical framework of conservation of resource theory as well as cognitive-affective processing system theory, this study examines the relationship between peer overqualification and the production of employees' dualistic work passion. It analyzes the mediating role of a perceived competitive climate and job anxiety. Utilizing a sample of 532 employees from China, this study finds that peer overqualification stimulates employees' obsessive work passion and negatively impacts their harmonious work passion. Perceived competitive climate and job anxiety play a chain mediation role in the positive relationship between peer overqualification and obsessive work passion and the negative relationship between peer overqualification and harmonious work passion. This study broadens the theoretical perspectives on peer overqualification, enriches research on the determinants of dualistic work passion, and offers managerial implications for enhancing employees' work passion.
