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
Background: Professional identity is an important indicator of career development and workforce stability among nursing undergraduates. However, the pathways through which positive psychological resources are associated with professional identity remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of career resilience in the relationship between trait positive empathy and professional identity among nursing undergraduates. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 617 nursing undergraduates from a university in Henan Province, China. Participants completed the Trait Positive Empathy Scale (TPES), Career Resilience Scale (CRS), and Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nursing Students (PIQN). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships among the variables. The mediating role of career resilience was tested using PROCESS Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Results: The total scores of trait positive empathy, career resilience, and professional identity were 28.07 ± 4.59, 19.86 ± 3.30, and 60.72 ± 10.44, respectively. Trait positive empathy was positively correlated with career resilience ( Conclusion: Trait positive empathy was directly associated with professional identity and indirectly associated with professional identity through career resilience among nursing undergraduates. These findings highlight the importance of cultivating positive psychological resources and career resilience to support professional identity development in nursing education.
