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
Inroduction: With the normalization of organizational change and the "multi-generational coexistence" of the labor market, understanding and mitigating employees' resistance to change has become increasingly important. Based on a contextualized perceived human capital perspective, this study aimed to explore the associations among intergenerational mentoring characteristics, employees' subjective appraisal of their career-related human capital, and organizational change receptivity. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional design with self-report surveys, data were collected from 812 active employees across various industries. The study evaluated intergenerational mentoring interactions, contextualized human capital perception (operationalized through self-perceived employability indicators that capture perceived career competitiveness, skill transferability, and marketability), and organizational change receptivity. Results: The empirical results demonstrate that: (1) Intergenerational mentoring interactions (including career support, psychosocial support, and role modeling) are significantly and positively correlated with employees' receptivity to change; (2) contextualized human capital perception presents a significant partial statistical mediation association in the relationship between intergenerational mentoring and change receptivity (indirect effect Discussion: These findings suggest that cross-generational support networks are positively associated with employees' evaluations of their own employability, which is correlatively linked to a more favorable attitude toward change. Because the study relies on cross-sectional self-report data, the observed mediation should be strictly interpreted as a statistical association rather than a causal mechanism. Future longitudinal and multi-source studies are necessary for further validation.
