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

Objective: This research aims to systematically investigate the mechanisms between psychological contract fulfillment and job burnout/job satisfaction among pharmacists, addressing the research gap in this population. Methods: This is a cross-sectional research that employed convenience sampling to recruit 384 pharmacists from private medical institutions in Guiyang between May and August 2024. The research utilized scales for psychological contract, job burnout, and job satisfaction for analysis. After conducting reliability and validity tests on the questionnaires, correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to explore the relationships among psychological contract fulfillment, job burnout, and job satisfaction among pharmacists in private medical institutions. Results: The findings indicate that pharmacists' psychological contract fulfillment is significantly weakly negatively correlated with job burnout ( Conclusion: The research suggests that private medical institutions should take proactive measures to ensure the stability of pharmacists' psychological contracts. For example, during the intervention process, preventive guidance should be provided to senior pharmacists to help them avoid breaches of the psychological contract and the further development of job burnout. For newly recruited pharmacists, selective preventive interventions should be implemented to achieve personalized psychological contract interventions. Finally, this research helps fill the research gap regarding pharmacists' psychological contracts in private medical institutions.
