1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study aimed to examine the relationships among proactive personality, career adaptability, and clinical practice behavior among practical nursing students. Methods: A descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional design was employed with 394 practical nursing students. Data were collected using the Proactive Personality Scale, the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale-China Form, and the Clinical Evaluation Tool. Pearson correlation, hierarchical regression, and bootstrapping mediation analysis were conducted. Results: Proactive personality ( Conclusion: Career adaptability partially mediates the relationship between proactive personality and clinical practice behavior. Nursing education should focus on cultivating proactive personality and strengthening career adaptability to improve clinical practice behavior. However, longitudinal and multi-source studies are needed to validate the proposed pathway.
