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
Introduction: Although responsible leadership (RL) has attracted increasing attention from the academic community, the correlation mechanism between it and employee innovative behavior (EIB) has not been fully clarified. Based on the data of high-tech enterprises in China, this study explores how intrinsic motivation (IM) and creative process engagement (CPE) explain the relationship between responsible leadership and innovative behavior. Method: This study uses SPSS 27.0 and AMOS software for statistical analysis. The data is collected on the Credamo platform. After routine data screening and cleaning, 344 valid replies are used for follow-up analysis. Result: The results showed that RL was positively related to EIB, with IM and CPE independently mediating this relationship. Besides, the sequential indirect effect of RL on EIB through IM and CPE was also significant. Discussion: The findings indicated that IM and CPE serve as two interconnected mechanisms linking RL with EIB. Drawing on self-determination theory and social information processing theory, this study further illustrates how employees interpret responsible leadership-related information, develop IM, and remain engaged in creative activities.
