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

The role of the project management office (PMO) in improving project execution has recently been acknowledged and is gaining popularity in project-based organizations to furnish various options for project-solving approaches. This study aims to identify and test the ability of PMO roles in implementing the strategic plan of the organization. This research adopted survey-based quantitative research. The questionnaire was shared with 450 staff members working in 19 project-based organizations. 268 usable questionnaires were received. The methodologies for the development of project management, monitoring and controlling project performance, organizational learning, monitoring and controlling project performance, and improving organization structure and communication were the top five PMO roles involved in the execution of strategic plans, according to the results. At the same time, the criteria of twelve top metrics were recognized to determine the effectiveness of the PMO department. This study has research implications for the researchers involved in the exploration of the specific benefits of PMO.
