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
Injury rates in the construction industry have been high. Losses from a construction accident are not limited to the high expenses of the delay in construction and the compensations for the injured workers, sometimes even the worker's life. The worker's unsafe behaviors have been the direct cause of an accident, and it is urgent to reduce them effectively. This study examines the relationships between personality traits, psychological needs, and safety motivation. It attempts to provide evidence and support for using personality traits and psychological needs in improving practical construction safety interventions. First, the constructs for personality traits, psychological needs, and safety motivation have been contextualized for application in the construction industry. Second, hypotheses about the relationships among the three constructs were established based on the literature, and a social survey was conducted to collect data for testing the hypotheses. Third, structural equation modeling was used to investigate the association between the three key constructs. The study found that conscientiousness is associated with social identity and intrinsic safety motivation, and extraversion is related to the worker's self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation. Openness to experience is positively associated with work autonomy and self-efficacy; conscientiousness is positively related to social identity, as well as extraversion to self-efficacy, agreeableness to work autonomy, and neuroticism to self-efficacy. The findings of this study contribute toward a better understanding of how personality accounts for differences in psychological needs and safety motivation and how these differences can be used in customized safety interventions. This study guides using personality traits in promoting safety motivation and shows that assessing personality traits can be a helpful tool in designing customized safety interventions.
