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
Purpose: Fear of Missing out (FoMO) is a widely observed phenomenon in the workplace. Previous research has primarily focused on employees' FoMO, with limited exploration of leaders' FoMO and its impact on their creativity. This study aims to investigate how leaders' FoMO affects their creativity, based on the transactional stress theory. Patients and Methods: Using an experience sampling method, we collected 836 observations from 102 leaders across various industries in China for two consecutive weeks (10 working days). Subsequently, hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation modeling were employed to test the hypotheses. Results: This study suggests that both challenge stress and hindrance stress mediate the relationship between leaders' FoMO and their creativity. Role breadth self-efficacy moderates the relationship between leaders' FoMO and challenge stress and hindrance stress, and moderates the positive and negative mediating effects of challenge stress and hindrance stress in the relationship between leaders' FoMO and their creativity. Conclusion: Research has shown that leaders' FoMO can either enhance creative performance by increasing challenge stress or inhibit it by increasing hindrance stress. Role breadth self-efficacy significantly amplifies the positive relationship between leaders' FoMO and challenge stress, while moderating the negative effect of leaders' FoMO on hindrance stress. Innovations: Firstly, this study expands workplace FoMO research by illustrating the double-edged sword effect of leaders' FoMO on their creativity. Secondly, this study contributes to the academic community's comprehension of the underlying mechanisms linking leaders' FoMO and its outcomes by demonstrating the mediating role of challenge stress and hindrance stress. Thirdly, the study shows the boundary conditions for the effects of leaders' FoMO by validating the moderating role of their role breadth self-efficacy.
