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
This study examines the effect of social support, work-life balance, and workload on psychological wellbeing with time pressure as a mediating variable among Gojek drivers in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The research is motivated by the increasing reliance on ride-hailing services within the urban transport system and the growing vulnerability of gig workers' wellbeing under platform-based work arrangements. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 267 Gojek drivers who met the predetermined sampling criteria and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The results indicate that social support and work-life balance have a positive and significant effect on psychological wellbeing, while workload has a negative effect. Time pressure is found to significantly mediate the relationship between workload and psychological wellbeing, highlighting its role as a key mechanism through which job demands affect drivers' mental conditions. These findings underscore the importance of managing job demands and strengthening supportive resources to enhance the psychological wellbeing of Gojek drivers in the context of platform-based work.
