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

Introduction: The study explores how meaningful work (MW) and workplace attachment styles, secure (SE), anxious (AX), and avoidant (AV), predict entrepreneurial well-being within a structured sales network of a financial services firm. It further examines the moderating role of attachment styles and the contextual influence of regional leadership and team financial performance. Methods: Data were collected from 300 entrepreneurs using the Work and Meaning Inventory (WAMI), the Workplace Attachment Questionnaire (WAQ), and the Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Results: Regression analyses show that MW is a robust and consistent predictor of well-being, even after controlling for team-level sales performance and gender. AX initially appeared to amplify the positive relationship between MW and well-being, but this interaction effect diminished once objective financial performance metrics were included. SE to leaders was positively associated with well-being in psychological models but lost significance in the extended model, suggesting that financial performance may partially mediate its effects. Well-being varied significantly by regional leadership, even after adjusting for sales outcomes. Discussion: The findings underscore the importance of promoting MW, monitoring leadership impact across regions, and integrating subjective and objective indicators when assessing entrepreneurial well-being.
