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

In this study, we examined the relationship between employees’ perceived digital hindrance stressors and digital creativity by focusing on the mediating role of job anxiety and the moderating role of positive stress mindset. Using dyadic data from 273 supervisor–subordinate pairs in China, our results revealed that (1) digital hindrance stressors were negatively associated with employee digital creativity; (2) job anxiety played a partially curvilinear mediating role in the relationship between digital hindrance stressors and employee digital creativity; and (3) positive stress mindset weakened the positive relationship between digital hindrance stressors and job anxiety. These findings offer several theoretical and practical implications for research on digital hindrance stressors and digital creativity.
