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

backgroundThis study investigates the impact of relationship-oriented leadership on organizational citizenship behavior among hospital nurses in the Turkish healthcare context, focusing on the mediating role of workplace flourishing. The research aims to fill gaps in understanding the indirect effects of leadership on organizational citizenship behavior through workplace well-being in the context of healthcare professionals.

methodsA cross-sectional design was employed, surveying 448 nurses from a university hospital using structured Likert-type scales. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling and the bootstrap method to test the hypothesized relationships among the variables.

resultsThe findings indicate that relationship-oriented leadership significantly affects organizational citizenship behavior dimensions such as altruism, conscientiousness, courtesy, and sportsmanship. Additionally, workplace flourishing was found to mediate the relationship between leadership style and organizational citizenship behavior, with flourishing showing a strong positive influence on organizational citizenship behavior dimensions.

conclusionThe study highlights that relationship-oriented leadership fosters workplace flourishing, which in turn enhances organizational citizenship behaviors. These results suggest that healthcare leaders can promote better workplace outcomes by fostering a flourishing environment, ultimately improving nurse engagement and citizenship behaviors.
