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: This study investigates the associations among voice behavior, transformational leadership, and psychological capital using a meta-analytic structural equation modeling approach. Drawing on conservation of resources theory, social identity theory, and broaden-and-build theory, psychological capital was proposed as a key mediator in the association between employee voice and transformational leadership. Methods: Data from 11 Taiwanese empirical studies published between 2008 and 2020 were synthesized, comprising more than 1,000 participants across diverse industries. Meta-analysis was conducted to examine the pairwise relationships among voice behavior, transformational leadership, and psychological capital, followed by structural equation modeling to test the proposed mediation model. Results: The meta-analysis revealed significant positive correlations between voice behavior and transformational leadership ( Discussion: These findings highlight the reciprocal nature of leader-follower dynamics and suggest that employee voice is systematically associated with employees' psychological resources and with transformational leadership within the Taiwanese evidence base. This study contributes to the organizational behavior literature by clarifying the triangular relationship among voice behavior, psychological capital, and transformational leadership. The findings also have practical implications for fostering psychologically safe communication channels, investing in leadership development, and cultivating employee psychological capital to support organizational innovation and adaptability.
