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
Workplace Coaching has evolved significantly over the last two decades and has become a mainstream global activity in business organizations. The concept has been recognized for its potential in enhancing the well-being and performance of individuals, groups, and leaders, making it a popular intervention in modern organizations. Therefore, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of workplace coaching research from 2000 to 2025 by examining global trends in terms of publications, contributors, keyword co-occurrences, and thematic clusters, utilizing a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis. The review was conducted to synthesise the available literature on workplace coaching to suggest future trends. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were used to explore and analyze published works using the PRISMA framework and VOSviewer software. A total of 343 published journal articles were considered in the analysis, eliminating duplication and minimizing potential risks during the screening process. The findings reveal a significant growth in academic interest in coaching in workplace research, with four key thematic clusters emerging: Coaching for Workplace Learning and Development, Multifaceted advantages of Executive and Leadership Coaching, Dimensions of Workplace Coaching, and Employee Coaching for Human Resource Management and Development. The study findings serve as a foundation for future studies that explore under-researched areas, such as the application of artificial intelligence in coaching practices, ethical considerations, digital transformation, sustainability in leadership, and employee well-being practices. Moreover, this study reveals the potential of meta-analyses and systematic reviews that incorporate grey literature to provide a more comprehensive understanding of coaching effectiveness. Comparative studies across different sectors, countries, and regions can help consolidate the existing findings and uncover new insights. These limitations and opportunities present avenues for future research, motivating researchers to advance and refine existing literature.
