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

objectivesThis study examined the relationships between work stressors (i.e., precarious work conditions, customer incivility, fast work pace, and job insecurity) and their relations with job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion among platform drivers in mainland China. In addition, we tested whether psychological capital (PsyCap) moderated the hypothesized relationships.

methods2539 platform drivers (Men = 2244; Women = 295, Mean age = 28.18, SD = 6.38) in Mainland China were recruited.

resultsWork stressors were positively related to emotional exhaustion but negatively associated with job satisfaction. Regarding the hypothesized moderating effect, PsyCap moderated the association between precarious work conditions and fast work pace in predicting job satisfaction. Furthermore, PsyCap also interacted with precarious work conditions, job insecurity, and customer incivility in predicting emotional exhaustion.

conclusionThe occupational well-being of platform drivers was significantly related to their working conditions. PsyCap is a salient factor that alleviates the negative work stressors that affect these outcomes.
