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
This study examines how managerial leadership styles influence the perceived effectiveness of compensation systems and employee performance. While prior research on organizational control has focused on optimizing compensation structures, it often neglects the role of managers within these systems. Drawing on survey data from a large international bank in Serbia, the study finds that transformational leadership enhances employees' perceptions of compensation system effectiveness. Furthermore, managers who rely more extensively on relational contracts foster greater intrinsic motivation and perceptions of fairness, thereby increasing system effectiveness. The study also reveals that managerial performance evaluations significantly affect employee productivity-but only when the compensation system is perceived as effective. This research contributes to the literature on leadership by highlighting the substantial impact of leadership styles on the use and outcomes of relational contracts within organizations.
