Multidimensional scale of meaningful work: construction and validation.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Meaningful work allows individuals to align their jobs with their personal values and passions, resulting in greater fulfillment and commitment. When work is meaningful, employees develop resiliency during challenging times, viewing challenges as opportunities rather than obstacles. However, there is no unified definition of meaningful work as different fields attribute different dimensions to the concept. Therefore, the evaluation and measure of meaningful work dimensions is important and should evolve in response to modern trends. The purpose of this paper is to introduce and validate the Multidimensional Scale for Meaningful Work. Following a structured scientific search on the acknowledged components of meaningful work, three studies were conducted on Content Validity, Response Process Validity, and Internal Structure Validity. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, qualitative and quantitative data aided in the development and validation of this scale. The combined results of the studies showcase a unified measure assessing the five dimensions of Meaningful Work:
