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 a rapidly changing labour market shaped by technological, social, and economic transformations, organizations must adapt their leadership practices to promote healthy and sustainable work environments. This study examines the relationship between organizational ethics and values, leadership engagement, and the psychosocial work environment. The sample included 4,551 workers from multiple sectors, of whom 63.1% were female, aged between 18 and 73 years (M = 44.8; SD = 10.80). Data were collected using a short version of the Healthy Workplace Ecosystems Instrument (EATS), based on the Healthy Workplaces model proposed by the World Health Organization. Group comparisons identified higher-risk profiles, including employees experiencing burnout symptoms, chronic illness, unstable employment conditions, or dissatisfaction with remuneration. Mediation analysis revealed that the relationship between leadership engagement and the psychosocial work environment is mediated by organizational ethics and values, highlighting the importance of ethical leadership and organizational culture in promoting employee well-being and reducing psychosocial risks.
