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

Amid frequent crises and rising uncertainty, public organizations increasingly need effective leadership to stimulate team innovation. However, prior studies have focused mainly on how crisis leadership affects crisis response performance and employee behavior, with limited attention to team innovative performance. Drawing on COR theory, this study examines the relationship between crisis leadership and team innovative performance, and analyzes the parallel mediating roles of team cognitive flexibility and team positive affective climate. Using questionnaire data from 406 public sector employees, structural equation modeling shows that crisis leadership is significantly and positively related to team innovative performance. Team cognitive flexibility and team positive affective climate both play significant mediating roles, and the cognitive pathway has stronger explanatory power than the emotional pathway. This study reveals the cognitive-emotional dual-pathway mechanism through which crisis leadership influences team innovative performance. It expands research on crisis leadership and team innovation in the public sector, and provides practical implications for improving crisis leadership and team innovation capabilities in public organizations.
