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
Introduction: This study examines the relationship between technostress, work-family conflict (WFC), and female teachers' perceived career progression in Chinese higher education institutions in Henan Province, China. As universities increasingly rely on digital technologies for teaching, administration, and communication, female teachers may experience growing technological demands alongside existing professional and family responsibilities. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigates whether WFC mediates the relationship between technostress and perceived career progression. Methods: Data were collected from 466 female teachers employed in higher education institutions in Henan Province, China, using a well-structured questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS to test the proposed hypotheses. Results: The results indicate that technostress has a negative relationship with female teachers' perceived career progression, while it has a positive relationship with work-family conflict. In addition, work-family conflict acts as a mediator in the relationship between technostress and perceived career progression. Discussion: These findings suggest that technostress has a negative influence on teachers' perceived career progression in higher education institutions by intensifying work-family conflict. This is consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3, 4, and 5, highlighting the importance of promoting teacher well-being, enhancing educational quality, and advancing gender equality. The paper also offers practical implications for policymakers to alleviate technostress and work-family conflict, thereby supporting teachers' sustainable perceived career progression.
