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 investigates how foremen's paternalistic leadership (FPL) influences construction workers' safety behaviors (WSB) in China, and how team-level and individual-level psychological mechanisms shape this relationship. Drawing on leader-member exchange theory, psychological safety theory, and cultural congruence perspectives, this research proposes a dual-mediation model involving team safety climate (TSC) and workers' psychological safety (WPS), with power distance (PD) as a moderating variable. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 263 frontline workers across three Chinese cities. Structural equation modeling revealed that FPL significantly enhanced WSB both directly (
