Professional identity and job performance among vocational education teachers-a chain mediation model of leader-member exchange and self-efficacy, with job crafting as a moderator.

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
Purpose: This research explores the effect of professional identity (PI) on the job performance (JP) of vocational education and training (VET) teachers, with a particular focus on the sequential mediation effects of leader-member exchange (LMX) and self-efficacy (SE). It also explores the role of job crafting (JC) as a moderator of these sequential mediation effects. Method: A questionnaire using a Likert scale was designed and distributed to 2,392 teachers from six vocational colleges in China. Correlation analysis and moderated mediation analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 22.0 to test the hypotheses. Results: PI, SE, LMX and JP were significantly correlated ( Conclusion: PI has a direct and indirect effect on the JP of VET teachers. The indirect effect is mediated by a sequential mediation pathway (LMX and SE). Moreover, JC serves as a boundary condition that moderates specific pathways of the sequential mediation process (PI → LMX → SE → JP), demonstrating a pathway-specific and constraining moderating effect.
