Working from home during COVID-19 and its impact on Indian employees' stress and creativity.
Article in Asian business & management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented turmoil necessitating nations to impose lockdowns. Thus, organizations forced employees to work from home (WFH) by leveraging information technology. We explored the impact of WFH on employees during the lockdown. We conducted in-depth interviews of 24 employees across manufacturing and technology-enabled sectors in India and analyzed the data using Gioia's methodology. Four dimensions emerged from the impact of WFH on employees: role improvisation, stress, isolation, and self-initiated creativity. While some themes were common between the two industrial sectors, other themes varied. For instance, service sector employees reported current work-related stress, whereas manufacturing sector employees reported future-related stress. Interestingly, we discovered sparks of creativity among employees during this period either towards nurturing themselves (technology-enabled sector) or towards solving long-pending organizational issues (manufacturing sector). Most importantly, these creativity sparks were self-initiated. The study is novel as it explores the impact of large-scale WFH enforced during crisis.
