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

Introduction: The professional development of individuals within organizations is a crucial component in shaping organizational competitive advantage. Although existing research indicates that leadership styles can significantly influence individual professional development, there is limited understanding of the mechanisms and boundary conditions governing the relationship between perceived team leadership and individual professional development. Methods: Based on valid survey questionnaires from 655 university teachers in Hebei Province, China, this article constructs and tests a moderated mediation model. Results: Empirical results demonstrate that: perceived team leadership has a significant positive impact on university teachers' professional development; innovative self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between perceived team leadership and university teachers' professional development; organizational innovation climate positively moderates all paths within the mediation framework. Conclusion: This finding reveals the interactive effects of "context-individual-behavior," extends the application boundaries of Social Exchange Theory in educational organizations, and demonstrates that leadership effectiveness also depends on organizational climate support. This article elucidates the mechanism by which perceived team leadership influences the professional development of university teachers, providing practical insights for university administrators, such as enhancing team leadership, fostering organizational innovation climate, and activating teachers' intrinsic motivation for development.
