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

Objective To explore the prevailing culture among leaders at the King Fahad Medical City (KFMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as well as to evaluate the impact of organizational culture from the perspective of employees. Subjects and methods Utilizing a convenient sampling method, data were collected at the KFMC, Saudi Arabia, using two research approaches (focus group and cross-sectional). A total of 446 employees participated in this questionnaire-based study, and all questionnaires were analyzed to obtain the final data. Results About 51% of the participants were males and 49% were non-Saudi nationals. On a scale of 5 points, the overall score of the KFMC culture assessment was 3.6 (72%). The strongest recognized factor was the enjoyment (3.9/5; 78%). On the other hand, the factor with the lowest score was innovation (3.3/5; 66%). Conclusion The culture within an organization is very important. Communicating organizational strategic plans of change to employees and assuring their acknowledgment of the vision can inspire the behavior and attitude of employees at the workplace. This study strikes a note of challenge in some dimensions and items. Top management leaders are recommended to adjust their leadership behavior to focus on these challenges.
