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

Providing safety is a key function for leaders for those under their command in a military context, and research to date has focused on various aspects of leaders' personalities and leadership styles to investigate the outcomes for their followers. The present research aims to complement this view by adopting a follower-centric approach and exploring the individual and team-level effects of attachment and psychological safety. Drawing on attachment theory, we developed and tested a model that explicates how employees' attachment projections are mediated by psychological safety to influence adaptive behaviors and team performance positively. We collected multi-source survey data from a Navy department to test our model. Our findings suggest that attachment to leaders can indirectly enhance adaptive behaviors through individual psychological safety. This research underscores the critical role of attachment dynamics and resulting safety perceptions in shaping adaptive behaviors among military personnel, emphasizing their significance as social resources.
