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 aims to examine the relationship between teaching autonomy and teachers' organizational commitment based on the conservation of resources theory and to reveal the mediating roles of self-efficacy and career well-being in this relationship. Methods: The sample consisted of 2,996 teachers from the 2018 Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) Shanghai database. Partial least squares structural equation modeling and the bias-corrected percentile Bootstrap method were employed for data analysis. Results: Teaching autonomy was significantly and positively correlated with teachers' organizational commitment, self-efficacy, and career well-being. Both self-efficacy and career well-being were significantly and positively related to teachers' organizational commitment. Self-efficacy was also significantly and positively associated with teachers' career well-being. Furthermore, self-efficacy and career well-being not only functioned as independent mediators between teaching autonomy and teachers' organizational commitment but also had a chain mediating role. Conclusion: This study reveals the mediating roles of self-efficacy and career well-being, thereby contributing to understanding the mechanisms through which teaching autonomy influences teachers' organizational commitment. Meanwhile, school administrators can enhance teachers' organizational commitment by increasing their teaching autonomy, self-efficacy, and career well-being.
