Entrepreneurial success across novice, serial and portfolio entrepreneurs.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aim of the article is to examine the relations between the type of entrepreneur (novice, serial, portfolio) and entrepreneurial success understood as a process that includes opportunity identification, opportunity exploitation, and the firm's performance. The study, based on Shane's framework and the resource-based view extended to include psychological capital, was conducted among 326 micro and small entrepreneurs in Poland. The results showed that the type of entrepreneur does not differentiate the overall level of success; however, it does influence its specific dimensions. Serial entrepreneurs demonstrate greater effectiveness in exploiting opportunities, whereas portfolio entrepreneurs are more successful in identifying them. Psychological factors such as self-efficacy, autonomy, and optimism proved to be stronger explanatory variables of success than the demographic variables analysed, and their importance appeared to be more strongly associated with success among more experienced entrepreneurs. The study confirmed the multidimensional nature of entrepreneurial success, integrated the resource-based perspective with the concept of psychological capital, and highlighted the need for tailored developmental support for different types of entrepreneurs.
