1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study examined how eudaimonic life values (ELV) influence employment stress (ES) among Chinese higher education students, focusing on the mediating role of employment mindset (EM) and the moderating effects of subject major and educational background. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to April 2025 among students aged 18-25 from 18 higher education institutions in Shenzhen, China. A total of 9,264 valid responses were analyzed using mediation and moderated mediation models. Results: ELV significantly and negatively predicted both EM ( Discussion: Findings highlight the role of cognitive-emotional processes in linking life values to employment stress and suggest that educational context shapes these relationships.
