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
Aging may lead to a gradual decline in work ability, but other factors, such as worker motivation, also play a crucial role. This study, based on the Job Demands-Resources model, examined whether work engagement, an indicator of high motivation, is positively linked to work ability in older white-collar workers. We also explored the influence of job resources (control and social support) and demands (workload and techno-complexity) on work ability, mediated by work engagement. Structured interviews were conducted with 230 bank and finance workers aged over 50, and structural equation modeling was employed to investigate our hypotheses. Work engagement was positively associated with work ability. Control and social support improved work engagement and indirectly enhanced work ability. Among job demands, techno-complexity reduced work engagement but did not affect work ability. Workload weakened the positive effects of control on work engagement and work ability. Our findings suggest that promoting work engagement in older white-collar workers by increasing autonomy, fostering a supportive environment, and reducing overload and techno-complexity can help protect and enhance their work ability.
