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

This study investigated status of psychosocial safety climate (PSC) among Korean workers. Data were collected from 5,064 wage earners as part of the 4th wave of the Korean Work, Sleep, and Health Study. PSC was measured using the validated 4-item PSC questionnaire. The results revealed an average PSC score of 8.70, with 50.71% of participants classified as high-risk. Significant variations were observed across age, gender, and employment type. These findings suggest that PSC in the Republic of Korea is generally lower than in other countries, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Disparities in PSC perception across different demographic and occupational groups suggest that targeted strategies are necessary to enhance psychological safety in the workplace. Future research should focus on addressing these perception gaps to create more effective interventions for improving PSC and employee mental health in the Republic of Korea.
