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

Introduction: Primary healthcare workers (PHCWs) are crucial to the healthcare system, as they directly impact the delivery of essential health services. Their job performance is influenced by various types of organizational commitment, but the effects of these commitments are not fully understood. This study aims to explore how four types of organizational commitment (affective, normative, economic, and opportunity) affect job performance among PHCWs, using Self-Determination Theory to examine motivation internalization as a mediating factor. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 870 PHCWs from 38 primary healthcare institutions was conducted. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to explore the relationships between commitment types, motivation internalization, and job performance. Results: Affective and normative commitments positively predicted job performance, with motivation internalization partially mediating this relationship. Opportunity commitment negatively predicted job performance, mediated by reduced motivation internalization. Economic commitment showed no significant effect on either motivation internalization or job performance. Discussion: The impact of organizational commitment on job performance is shaped by its motivational quality. Strengthening affective and normative commitments through supportive incentive strategies can enhance PHCWs' performance in primary healthcare settings.
