Enhancing career adaptability and career decision-making self-efficacy through career planning education: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Career adaptability (CA) and career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) are key competencies for university students. This study examined the effectiveness of a structured, theory-based career planning education (CPE) program in enhancing these outcomes. Methods: Using a quasi-experimental design, 75 undergraduates were assigned to an experimental or control group. The five-week CPE intervention was grounded in career construction and social cognitive theories. Measures of CA and CDMSE were collected at pretest, posttest, and a four-week follow-up. Results: Results indicated that the experimental group showed significant improvements in CA and CDMSE at posttest. No significant changes were observed in the control group. Discussion: The findings support the short-term effectiveness of structured CPE programs, while highlighting the need for future research on long-term outcomes and broader institutional implementation.
