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

Background: Job satisfaction is a critical factor influencing employee performance, motivation, and retention in healthcare, particularly among pharmacists. Positive workplace relationships and psychological well-being are essential contributors to job satisfaction, yet little is known about how these dynamics function in Saudi Arabia. This study investigates the link between workplace relationships and job satisfaction among Saudi pharmacists. It examines psychological well-being as a mediator and personality traits as a moderator in this connection. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative design was adopted. Data were collected from 384 licensed pharmacists in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia, by using the Workplace relationship quality questionnaire (WRQ), Job satisfaction survey (JSS), Positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS), and HEXACO personality inventory. SPSS and Hayes' PROCESS macro were used for statistical analysis. Results: Workplace relationships positively correlated with psychological well-being ( Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of cultivating strong workplace relationships and promoting psychological well-being to enhance pharmacist job satisfaction. Personality traits should also be considered in workforce planning to optimise job fit and satisfaction.
