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

[Purpose] This study aimed to explore the workplace climate that supports self-growth among physical therapists (PTs) by comparing their past growth-promoting experiences with conditions in their current workplaces. [Participants and Methods] An online survey was conducted with 357 Japanese PTs. Data were collected on demographics, self-growth experiences, and workplace climate. Workplace climate was evaluated using a four-point Likert scale across 10 factors: bright, exciting, warm, strict, honest, open, diligent, passionate, cooperative, and autonomous. Past growth-promoting environments were compared with current workplace conditions. [Results] Significant differences were found in 8 of the 10 factors between past growth-promoting environments and current workplaces. The largest differences were observed in strictness, honesty, and diligence. [Conclusion] Workplace climate appears to play an important role in PT self-growth. Creating a balanced environment that promotes discipline, honesty, and diligence while avoiding excessive stress may help foster professional development among PTs.
