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

Introduction: This study examined the association between intrinsic motivation and quiet quitting among healthcare workers and whether this association was statistically mediated by organizational identification and work engagement. Methods: Data were collected from 313 hospital employees in Türkiye using an online questionnaire. Intrinsic motivation, organizational identification, work engagement, and quiet quitting were measured using previously validated scales. Mediation analyses were performed using PROCESS Model 4 with 5,000 bootstrap samples. Additional sensitivity analyses were conducted after controlling for profession, weekly working hours, shift type, age, and professional experience. Results: Intrinsic motivation was positively associated with organizational identification (β = 0.384, Discussion: Intrinsic motivation was negatively associated with quiet quitting among hospital employees, and this association was statistically partially mediated by organizational identification and work engagement. These findings suggest that employees' psychological attachment to their organization and their engagement with work may represent important mechanisms underlying the observed association.
