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
Objective: This study investigated the relationships among school belonging, psychological capital and professional commitment among nursing undergraduates, and further assessed the mediating role of psychological capital in the link between school belonging and professional commitment. Methods: A total of 301 nursing undergraduates from two universities in Hubei Province, China, participated in this cross-sectional investigation. Validated questionnaires were used to measure psychological capital, school belonging, and professional commitment. Data analysis involved Pearson correlation coefficients and mediation analyses conducted via PROCESS Model 4. Results: Findings revealed positive correlations of psychological capital and school belonging with professional commitment, and school belonging was positively associated with psychological capital. Additionally, psychological capital was found to partially mediate the relationship between school belonging and professional commitment. Conclusion: The findings suggest that improving students' perceptions of belonging to their institution and enhancing their psychological capital could contribute to increased professional commitment among nursing undergraduates. Future longitudinal research is encouraged to verify the directionality of these relationships.
