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
Background: Work withdrawal behaviors threaten patients' safety and care quality. While exploitative leadership is a potential contributor to these negative behaviors, its impact remains underexplored in nursing context. Additionally, the mediating mechanism of moral disengagement in this association is understudied. Aim: This research aimed to investigate the mediating function of moral disengagement in the linkage between exploitative leadership and work withdrawal behaviors, framed by social cognitive and social exchange theories. Methods: This quantitative, cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of 223 nurses recruited from two healthcare settings. Data were collected between February and April 2025 using an online survey comprising three validated and reliable scales in addition to demographic questionnaire. The proposed hypotheses were tested using the partial least square approach. Results: Exploitative leadership demonstrated a significant positive direct effect on both moral disengagement ( Conclusion: This research underscores the critical role of moral disengagement in elucidating how exploitative leadership fosters nurses' job withdrawal behaviors. These results underscore the need for healthcare organizations to advocate for ethical leadership practices and address processes that compromise nurses' moral involvement to enhance nurse retention and ensure high-quality patient care.
