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: Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, we explore how job autonomy affects resilience and emotional exhaustion through psychological self-care (PSC). In addition, we study the impact of role overload as a boundary condition which dampens the beneficial effects of job autonomy. Methods: Cross-sectional data was collected through an online survey among Canadian health care workers (HCWs) across multiple organizations. We performed structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses (N=860). Results: Job autonomy had a positive relationship with resilience and negative with emotional exhaustion, both through PSC. However, high role overload hinders these relationships. Conclusion: Job autonomy combined with reasonable workload allows HCWs to invest in themselves in the form of PSC, which in turn alleviates their emotional exhaustion and fosters their resilience. Accordingly, this helps HCWs in overcoming both current and future adverse events at work. Valuing autonomy and PSC through communication and contextualized human resource management practices will help support HCWs and health care organizations in turn. Indeed, nurturing resilience and reducing emotional exhaustion will provide and protect the needed individual resources to face future disruptive events, consequently leading to strengthen health care organizations.
