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

Background: Psychosocial safety climate (PSC) refers to the collective belief among workers regarding the protection and support of their psychological health and safety by senior management. Despite the recognized importance of PSC in mitigating exposure to detrimental psychosocial risk factors at work, a validated instrument in French is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the French-Canadian version of the PSC-12 and its associations with job satisfaction and psychological distress. Method: A cross-sectional validation study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PSC-12. Using cross-sectional data from an online survey of adults in a French-Canadian university ( Results: Confirming the original four-factor structure, the French-Canadian version of the PSC-12 demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach's α of 0.95) and validity indices. Its convergent and divergent validity was evidenced by a positive association with job satisfaction ( Conclusions: The French-Canadian adaptation of the PSC-12 maintains cross-cultural validity, providing a validated and concise tool for assessment within the French-Canadian community.
