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
The present study analyses the effect of job control at work on psychological stress for Indian Middle-Level Managers (MLMs) of a public telecom organisation. Two hundred ten MLMs from different parts of India have participated in the survey. Three dimensions of job control visualize control over work (CoW), control over working time (CoT1) and control over working days (CoT2), were considered. The validity and reliability were confirmed using Factor and reliability analysis. A Binary Logistics Regression (BLR) was performed to find the effect of job control on behavioural, somatic and cognitive stress controlling for age, gender, and experience. The Odds Ratio and Adjusted Odds ratio were calculated. 56% of the participants reported suffering from psychological stress. Results showed that CoT1 had a significant association with somatic stress while CoT1 and CoT2 with cognitive stress. Low CoW and low CoT2 were associated with high psychological stress among middle-level managers while low CoT1 to low psychological stress. The findings indicate that job control have both positive and negative relationships with psychological well-being depending on its dimension. Increasing job control cannot entirely ensure the psychological well-being of employees. Therefore, organisations need to assess different dimensions of job control carefully before providing work flexibility to employees.
