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: A long-standing structural imbalance exists between the talent supply of hospitality management programs in China's higher education system and the actual demand of the hotel industry. Integrating Social Identity Theory (SIT) with Face Theory, this study constructs a theoretical model to explore the dual-path mediating effects of dirty work perception and face concern, as well as the moderating role of face concern. Its core objective is to reveal how social identity influences tourism management students' avoidance tendency toward employment in the hotel industry through the mediating chains of dirty work perception and face concern. Methods: Data were collected from 416 Chinese students majoring in tourism management and related fields via online questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the research hypotheses. Results: The results indicate that dirty work perception and face concern exert a significant serial mediating effect on the relationship between social identity and career choice intention. Additionally, face concern plays a negative moderating role in the association between dirty work perception and career choice intention. The measurement model demonstrates excellent reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Discussion: Theoretically, this study innovatively integrates Social Identity Theory with Face Theory, delves into the interactive mechanism between social-level and individual-level work cognition, thereby expanding the research boundary in the field of tourism education. Practically, the research findings provide strategic insights for hotel enterprises to optimize job design, for educational institutions to improve vocational guidance systems, and for industry associations to establish mechanisms for eliminating occupational prejudice-all of which are of great significance for promoting the reform of China's tourism talent supply system.
