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

The business market through which start-ups operate has become intensively competitive in recent years. Developing employees' entrepreneurial behavior is thus a priority for thriving in such conditions. This research attempts to explore the antecedent of such behavior by testing a research model that incorporates the linkages between entrepreneurial leadership, psychological empowerment, and employees' entrepreneurial behavior. The structural equation modeling analysis performed on a sample of 256 employees working in Saudi start-up companies showed that entrepreneurial leadership has no direct effect on employees' entrepreneurial behavior; instead, the impact turned out to be indirect through enhancing employees' psychological empowerment. The study holds several implications for researchers and practitioners in the field.
