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

Building on the emerging research on organizational resilience in crisis, we tested a model of transformational and directive leadership styles and their association with organizational resilience in a crisis via employees' psychological capital. Three hundred and one small and medium sized enterprises in Kenya provided usable survey data. The hypotheses were tested using multilevel structural equation modelling (MSEM) technique. The results show that both transformational and directive leadership styles were significant and positive predictors of organizational resilience through the mediating role of employees' psychological capital. From a practical perspective, as SMEs struggle to be resilient during crises, leaders should adopt effective leadership styles such as transformational and directive and also consider their employees' psychological experience of a crisis.
