Workplace bullying and turnover intentions among workers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundWorkplace bullying occurs in various professions worldwide and significantly impacts employees and organizations. Researchers have reported that workplace bullying may be associated with an increased intention to leave one's job. However, the conclusions regarding this relationship remain inconsistent.
methodsWe searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, PsycInfo, and ProQuest databases from inception to September 20, 2024. Two authors independently screened the studies, assessed the quality of the included studies, and extracted data. Any disagreements were resolved through discussion with a third author. A meta-analysis was performed to combine the regression coefficient (B) or odds ratios (ORs) with their confidence intervals. The I
resultsThis systematic review and meta-analysis included 27 studies, including 3 prospective and 24 cross-sectional studies. In the cross-sectional studies, as combined effect sizes, the B and OR values revealed a significant association between the experience of workplace bullying and an increased intention to leave (B = 0.25, 95% CI [0.19, 0.31]) (OR = 1.30, 95% CI [1.17, 1.44]). The prospective studies indicated that experiencing workplace bullying is associated with increased turnover intentions over time (B = 0.09, 95% CI [0.01, 0.17]).
conclusionExperiencing workplace bullying is positively correlated with employees' increased intentions to leave. This result suggests that to reduce employee turnover in organizations, it is crucial to focus on and prevent workplace bullying.
