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
aimDespite the literature on nursing leadership, the research on the quality of exchange relationship between nursing leaders and nurses is in its initial stages. Also, the underlying mechanism that exists between leader-member exchange and employee outcomes warrants further inquiry. This study aimed to fill these gaps by investigating the role of leader-member exchange relationships and organizational identification in nurses' intentional violation of hospital regulations to promote their patients' welfare, also called pro-social rule-breaking. In contrast to a vast number of previous studies, we argue that pro-social rule-breaking can be positive for organizations. Therefore, nurses should be given margin and autonomy to break hospital rules when needed by establishing a high-quality exchange relationship with the supervisor.
designA quantitative study was conducted on nurses working in hospitals in Pakistan by utilizing a non-probability convenience sampling technique.
methodData from nurses and their colleagues (n = 224) were collected at three-time points between June 2019 and August 2019 through questionnaires.
resultsThe results proved that nurses' possessing a high-quality exchange relationship with their supervisor feels a higher level of identification with their organization. In turn, they are more likely to engage in pro-social rule-breaking as a form of constructive deviance.
