Mediating role of self-efficacy in the association between multidimensional resource support and postdoctoral job satisfaction.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As the core research talent in the challenging and competitive research field, the job satisfaction of postdocs is highly important for research output, technological advancement, and the future reserve of talent. This study explores the impact of resource support on postdoctoral job satisfaction using data from Nature’s 2023 postdoc survey. The findings showed that postdocs generally report high levels of job satisfaction, but there are significant differences in the resource support provided by their institutions, with career development support particularly in need of improvement. Supervisor support, financial support, organizational support, and career development support all positively predict job satisfaction among postdocs, with self-efficacy playing a significant mediating role. The results emphasize the importance of increasing resource support for postdoctoral work and suggest that postdoctoral job satisfaction can be enhanced by guaranteeing postdoctoral research autonomy, building an inclusive work culture, improving postdoctoral career development skills, and increasing career opportunities.
