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

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a crucial element in the competitive advantage of enterprises, it is important to understand how to stimulate employees' creativity and initiative to cope with AI-driven changes. Drawing from the traditional Chinese wisdom of "remaining vigilant while enjoying prosperity" and based on the Conservation of Resources Theory, this study explored the impact of AI usage on employees' innovative behavior and proactive skill development. The results of a three-stage survey of 350 questionnaires showed that (1) AI usage positively influences employees' innovative behavior and proactive skill development; (2) job absorption partially mediates the relationship between AI usage and employees' innovative behavior; (3) AI job replacement anxiety partially mediates the relationship between AI usage and proactive skill development; and (4) employees' learning goal orientation positively moderates the impact of AI usage on innovative behavior through job absorption and on proactive skill development through AI job replacement anxiety. This study provides insights into how individuals respond to AI-driven changes and offers a novel perspective for developing research on AI usage at the individual level.
