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

This study examined the link among environmentally conscious organizational citizenship behavior (OCBE) and responsible leadership among 167 management-level workers in manufacturing plants of arts industry in a developing economy. The study explored the impact of responsible leadership on OCBE, both directly and indirectly through colleague exchange. It also explored the role of a green organizational environment, employee goal orientation, and supervisory support in regulating the link between coworker exchange and OCBE. The findings indicated that responsible leadership held a substantial and favorable influence on organizational citizenship behavior and that this link was mediated via colleague interchange. Workers who exhibited high degrees of goal orientation and were exposed to a sustainable work environment exhibited higher organizational citizenship behavior towards the environment (OCBE), suggesting a connection between colleague contact and OCBE. However, the support from supervisors did not have any moderating effect on this association. The study offers practical and management insights into how to encourage eco-behavior in the workplace.
