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
With the development of communication technology, employees are more easily controlled by electronic monitoring systems or algorithms. In this context, servant leadership that values employees' growth needs is more likely to be recognized by them and stimulate their work enthusiasm and motivation. Drawing on the Self-Determination Theory, this study examines the effect of servant leadership on employees' innovative behavior through psychological empowerment and the moderating effect of core self-evaluation. This moderated mediation model was tested with data from 468 employees in China. Results reveal that: (1) Psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between servant leadership and employees' innovative behavior. (2) Core self-evaluation strengthens the relationship between servant leadership and psychological empowerment and the indirect impact of servant leadership on employees' innovative behavior. Findings suggest that servant leadership is related to increased innovative behavior due to its positive influence on the psychological empowerment of employees. This study highlights the importance of developing a favorable self-evaluation score.
