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 aimed to explore the relationship between transformational leadership, work engagement, and employee creativity, and the mediating influence of job satisfaction and work engagement on this relationship—a cross-sectional study conducted from August to September from five public sector hospitals in Punjab province of Pakistan. Statistical analyses, which involve descriptive statistics, correlation, and mediation analyses, were performed utilizing Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 25.0 and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). A random sampling technique was used to collect 283 responses from the nurses. The study findings discovered that there are positive associations between transformational leadership and both work engagement and employee creativity. The findings further show that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and work engagement, while both job satisfaction and work engagement wholly mediate the association between transformational leadership and employee creativity. The results of this research contribute to the literature on employee creativity in healthcare sectors by increasing the understanding of the influences of job satisfaction, work engagement, and transformational leadership on employee creativity among nursing staff. This research provides essential policy insight for healthcare leaders who seek to enhance creativity among their nursing staff. Testing these relations through a multiple-mediation approach considerably added to the current study on leadership. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
