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
Introduction: This study aimed to determine how destructive leadership and organizational commitment relate to each other across time. Methods: Over 18 months, a self-rated questionnaire was distributed at four timepoints to employees of local government organizations in a municipality in Sweden; 582 employees responded to the questionnaire on at least one occasion. The Destructive Leadership Scale was used to measure destructive leadership, and the Commitment to the Workplace scale was used to measure organizational commitment. A second-order parallel-process latent growth curve model was used to test if initial levels of destructive leadership predict later change in organizational commitment, if initial levels of organizational commitment predict later change in destructive leadership, and if changes in destructive leadership are associated with simultaneous changes in organizational commitment. Results: The results show that the initial levels of destructive leadership negatively predicted change in organizational commitment ( Discussion: The findings indicate that destructive leadership affects the work environment in a negative way by undermining employee's organizational commitment. At the same time, managers are negatively affected by uncommitted employees, exacerbating destructive leadership behaviors.
