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
In the new phase of economic transformation and social development, innovation has emerged as a critical issue. Corporate innovation largely depends on the innovative behavior of its members, making it crucial to understand the impact of transformational leadership on employees' innovative behavior. We conducted a study from the perspective of relational identity theory. Questionnaire data were collected from April to June 2024 through a professional survey company in China that recruited 640 members and leaders of 160 teams. The analysis results are as follows: First, individual-focused transformational leadership was found to have a positive effect on individual innovative behavior. Second, leader identification played a significant mediating role in the relationship between individual-focused transformational leadership and individual innovative behavior. Third, team-focused transformational leadership exhibited a significant negative cross-level moderating effect on the relationship between individual-focused transformational leadership and leader identification. Lastly, team innovative climate showed a significant positive cross-level moderating effect on the relationship between leader identification and individual innovative behavior.
