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: Career adaptability is an important personal resource for employees' career development. Among telecommunications employees, the relationship between family function as an environmental resource and career adaptability requires further study. Based on Career construction theory and Conservation of resources theory, this study used mediation analysis to explore the influence mechanism of family function on career adaptability and the roles of social support and general self-efficacy. Methods: An online survey was conducted using the Family Assessment Device, the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, the Social Support Rating Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale among 10,516 employees of a telecommunications company in Shandong, China, yielding 7,625 valid responses. Results: Social support and general self-efficacy are mediating factors between family function and career adaptability, accounting for 11.325% and 33.493% of the total effect, respectively. Furthermore, social support and general self-efficacy had a chain mediating effect between family function and career adaptability, accounting for 12.530% of the total effect. Conclusion: This study identified a resource conversion pathway linking family function to career adaptability among telecommunications employees, in which social support and general self-efficacy jointly played a chain mediating role. The findings provide empirical evidence for the combined application of Career construction theory and Conservation of resources theory in this occupational group.
