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
backgroundGuided by the leader-member exchange theory and the social exchange theory, the current study predicts the buffering effect of leader-member exchange on employee counter-productive knowledge behavior, i.e., knowledge hiding through fueling their psychological empowerment. In addition, the study seeks to explore the interaction effect of leader-member guanxi in these links.
methodThe study examines these relationships on a sample of 393 service employees in the Chinese firms through employing partial least squares technique.
resultsThe study's findings provide support to our hypotheses that high-quality leader-member exchange relationships mitigate the occurrence context of knowledge hiding in the workplace by nurturing employees' psychological empowerment, which serves as a causal mechanism inspiring the transformation of leader-member exchange into reduced knowledge hiding. Besides, the study also finds the significant intervening effect of leader-member guanxi that reinforces the positive influence of leader-member exchange on knowledge hiding through psychological empowerment.
conclusionThe study is one of the few efforts that reveals a finer-grain understanding of the coping mechanisms that contribute to manage/reduce knowledge hiding in the workplace. IRB APPROVAL NO: IRB/DME/23/1457.
