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

Although humility is the opposite end of the same continuum as the dark triad, little is known about how this virtue can be cultivated to prevent the negative influence of narcissistic, Machiavellian, and psychopathic attitudes in the workplace. Based on the relational spirituality framework and trait activation theory, this paper proposes the verification of the mechanism underlying the link between religious practices and dark triad personality traits. Here, humility acts as a mediator and the perception of bond with God acts as a moderator in the relationship between religious practices and humility, and a caring ethical climate acts as a moderator in the link between humility and dark triad traits. The study involved 1071 employees from Poland. Consistent with the relational spirituality approach, the perception of a strong and trustful relationship with God amplified the positive effect of religious practices on humble attitude. In addition, in line with trait activation theory, the perception of a caring ethical climate strengthened the negative effects of humility on Machiavellianism and psychopathy but not on narcissism. Moreover, statistically significant mediating effects of humility moderated by the perception of bond with God were noticed on the relationship between prayer and Machiavellianism and between prayer and Mass attendance and psychopathy, but not narcissism.
