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
purposeThe purpose of this research is to explore how patriarchal dominance relates to employment anxiety and subjective career success among career women, with a specific focus on the understudied marginalized career widows in Nigerian work settings. Further, the moderating roles of family economic condition and social support in the relationship between patriarchal dominance and employment anxiety were investigated. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: We collected primary quantitative data from 491 career widows employed in Nigerian organizations using a structured questionnaire. We used descriptive analysis to analyze the respondents’ demographic profile and deployed partial least squares structural equation modeling to test our hypotheses.
resultsThe findings suggest that patriarchal dominance significantly relates to employment anxiety among Nigerian career widows. Contrary to expectations, patriarchal dominance does not significantly relate to subjective career success. The outcomes from the moderation analysis suggest that while economic conditions significantly moderate the relationship between patriarchal dominance and employment anxiety, the relationship varies in strength and direction. For widows from low economic backgrounds, employment anxiety was found to decrease as patriarchal dominance increases. But for widows from medium economic backgrounds, the result suggests that as patriarchal dominance increases, employment anxiety increases. The positive relationship between patriarchal dominance and employment anxiety is strongest among working widows from high economic backgrounds. Conversely, no moderating role was found in patriarchal dominance’s negative relationship with employment anxiety, indicating that employment anxiety is not weaker for career widows with high social support.
conclusionThe study is the first to provide insights into how patriarchal dominance relates to employment anxiety and subjective career success and the moderating roles of family economic conditions and social support in such links among Nigerian career widows using PLS-SEM. The outcomes suggest that patriarchal dominance significantly relates to employment anxiety, with family economic conditions playing moderating roles among Nigerian career widows. The outcomes have vital implications for African governments, organizations, and practitioners, as they can be motivated to activate appropriate actions that will help emancipate career widows from the yoke of patriarchal dominance.
