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

Why do some entrepreneurs experience higher levels of well-being? While prior research has extensively investigated various determinants of entrepreneurial well-being, this study advances the literature by examining the unique role of narcissism in shaping entrepreneurs' well-being. We propose that a narcissistic personality-characterized by heightened self-focus and need for recognition-interacts with contextual factors to enhance well-being. Specifically, narcissistic entrepreneurs' well-being increases when equity ranking is high and industry attention is salient. Using a multi-method approach, combining survey data from 165 Chinese entrepreneurs with archival data, we demonstrate that narcissism positively predicts well-being, with effects amplified by both high equity ranking and industry attention. In doing so, this study contributes to research on well-being and narcissistic personality in entrepreneurial contexts.
