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
Introduction: Academic bullying is a global phenomenon in academic settings. Yet, it is complex and frequently overlooked, with insufficient action to address it. Consequently, the existing comprehension of this issue is inadequate for recognizing and preventing bullying behaviors. However, investigations into the determinants of bullying within academia are scarce, demanding further exploration. Thus, this study seeks to investigate the factors contributing to the academic bullying phenomenon among university faculty members. Methods: This qualitative study employed a grounded theory approach. The sample consisted of 20 faculty members affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Purposeful sampling and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin. Results: From the grounded theory approach, conditional consequential matrix included a core variable (Academy scientific stagnation), two categories (Job burnout and Erosion of competitive edge), and four subcategories (Personality traits, Discrimination, Autocratic leadership, and unhealthy organizational climate). Conclusions: This study highlights "Academy scientific stagnation" due to academic bullying among faculty members. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive strategies targeting both personal behaviors and systemic structures. Interventions should focus on fostering a supportive and inclusive organizational culture, promoting fair leadership practices, and mitigating discriminatory behaviors to break the cycle of academic bullying and scientific stagnation.
