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

purposeOrganizations are increasingly integrating a diverse workforce, bringing both opportunities and challenges. To harness the benefits of diversity while addressing its complexities, the adoption of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles is essential. These principles are particularly important in ensuring optimal accommodation for people returning to work after a period of disability, to take account of their multifaceted realities. Managers are pivotal in implementing and overseeing these initiatives, yet their specific roles and the required competencies remain underexplored. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the competencies managers need to effectively uphold DEI principles.

methodsWe conducted a scoping review to collect and analyze information from 21 manuscripts, following a systematic five-step process.

resultsThe analysis identified seven core competencies and 28 sub-competencies that managers must exhibit to promote DEI in organizations. The seven competencies include the following: (1) communicating effectively with individuals; (2) managing DEI-related conflicts with diligence; (3) identifying and improving personal challenges related to DEI; (4) demonstrating transparency toward individuals; (5) acting as a role model to promote DEI at all levels; (6) facilitating the full potential of individuals; and (7) creating a team dynamic that fosters a sense of belonging for all individuals.

conclusionThis study underscores the critical role managers play in fostering inclusive environments, not only by promoting diversity but also by implementing fair workplace accommodations that facilitate the return to work of employees following a period of disability. This framework provides a foundation for future research on managerial practices in DEI.
