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
Career choice anxiety is a growing concern among Chinese university students and may be shaped by family expectations and labor-market uncertainty. This study examined whether the association between parental emotional warmth and career choice anxiety was indirectly linked through life satisfaction and psychological resilience. A total of 590 students completed validated questionnaires; after screening, 508 father and 560 mother reports were retained for analysis. Structural equation modeling indicated that parental emotional warmth was associated with lower career choice anxiety, and this association showed significant indirect effects through life satisfaction and psychological resilience, both independently and sequentially. No significant differences were found between paternal and maternal emotional warmth. These findings are statistically consistent with the proposed mediation model and highlight the potential relevance of family-related emotional support in understanding career choice anxiety among Chinese university students.
