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
backgroundThis study aims to investigate how occupational stigma consciousness impacts employee negligence behavior with the mediating role of ego depletion and moderating role of emotional intelligence in the healthcare sector of China. Drawing on self-regulation theory and emotional intelligence literature, we propose that while occupational stigma depletes employees' psychological resources, emotional intelligence serves as a personal capability that may buffer the adverse emotional and cognitive effects of stigma, making its moderating role theoretically meaningful in this context.
methodsHypotheses were tested using data collected from 247 healthcare employees in China through a three-wave time-lag design. Specifically, occupational stigma consciousness was measured at Time 1, ego depletion at Time 2 (four weeks later), and employee negligence behavior at Time 3 (four weeks after Time 2).
resultsThe results direct occupational stigma consciousness increases employee negligence behavior. The author also found ego depletion mediates the relationship between occupational stigma consciousness and employee negligence behavior. However, the buffering role of emotional intelligence was not established.
