Looking at both sides of algorithmic control and employee well-being: a job demands-resources model.

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
Objectives: Drawing on the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, this study aims to analyze the impact of algorithmic control on the well-being of delivery drivers by focusing on the mediating role of job demands (work overload and time pressure) and job resources (feedback quality and role clarity). Methods: This study obtained three-wave data from 435 delivery drivers and examined the hypotheses using structural equation modelling. Results: The results indicated that algorithmic control reduced delivery drivers' well-being by increasing the job demands (time pressure and work overload). In addition, algorithmic control enhanced delivery drivers' well-being by increasing their level of job resources (feedback quality and role clarity). Conclusion: Integrating job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, this study provides a more balanced view of how algorithmic control influences well-being by demonstrating the opposing mediating roles of job demands (work overload and time pressure) and job resources (feedback quality and role clarity).
