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
backgroundThe study leveraged the Conservation of Resource theory to examine the influence of organizational politics on turnover intentions, considering psychological well-being as a mediator and work-life balance as a moderator in Ghana's public and private hospitals.
methodThe study utilized convenience sampling technique to solicit information from 363 respondents from six varying regions in the southern part of Ghana. The data analysis was performed using partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) concentrating on CFA, path coefficients and bootstrapping approach.
resultsThe finding revealed that organizational politics significant and positive influence psychological well-being and turnover intentions. Further, the findings showed that psychological well-being significantly and positively influence turnover intentions. This suggests that healthcare personnel skilled in managing organizational politics might develop flexible coping mechanisms. Additionally, the study identified that psychological well-being mediates the relationship between organizational politics and turnover intentions. Moreover, the study showed that work-life balance moderates the relationship between organizational politics, psychological well-being and turnover relationships but the moderation relationship of psychological well-being and work-life on turnover intentions is marginal.
conclusionsThis study significantly enhances the existing body of knowledge by utilizing empirical data from Ghana's healthcare system, a context often overlooked in research on organizational politics. The study identifies sector-specific factors influencing turnover intentions by assessing both public and private hospitals. Highlighting the complex interplay of organizational politics, psychological well-being, and work-life balance in influencing employee retention outcomes contributes to the current body of research.
