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

objectivesIndividuals create narratives about the vocational domain of their lives, which represent their identity at work and encompass their remembered past, lived present and imagined future work lives. Grounded in the literature on narrative identity, we examine whether individual differences in features of narrative work identity prospectively predict resilience at work as an important vocational outcome.

methodA sample of 125 teachers was interviewed about their work life stories and provided narratives about work life low points, work life turning points, and their main challenge at work. They completed two measures of resilience at both baseline and 6 months follow-up, as well as measures of control variables (work demands, social support, occupational self-efficacy, purpose of work, optimism and personality traits). Narratives were coded for redemption, contamination, agency and communion.

resultsHigher redemption predicted resilience after 6 months and was related to concurrent resilient behavior at work. More agency and less contamination correlated with resilience at baseline

conclusionsThe results suggest that narrative work identity represents a promising construct in the study of work identity and work-related outcomes.
