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
Introduction: With the rapid development of emerging technologies, organizations are experiencing a profound digital transformation. However, in this high-pressure context, employees frequently experience technostress, which may diminish the positive influence of leadership. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study constructs a mediation model linking digital leadership, digital self-efficacy, and work engagement, while incorporating technostress as a moderating variable. Methods: Using a two-wave time-lagged design, this study collected survey data from 352 employees across multiple companies in China. Results: (1) digital leadership significantly enhances employee work engagement, (2) digital self-efficacy partially mediates this association, and (3) the positive influence of digital leadership on digital self-efficacy is substantially weakened under high technostress. Discussion: These findings extend the applicability of COR theory to digital contexts and highlight the boundary role of technostress.
