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.

Abstract
Background: Organizational psychology research suggests that employees' perceptions of workplace practices play an important role in shaping organizational outcomes. In resource-constrained Human Service Organizations (HSOs), organizational justice may represent a key psychological mechanism linking cost-conscious practices to resource-efficient behaviors. Objective: This study examined whether organizational justice explains the association between cost consciousness and resource efficiency among professionals working in Human Service Organizations (HSOs). Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was employed with 246 professionals working in public and municipal human service institutions in Türkiye, including social workers, nurses, and administrative personnel. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and regression-based mediation analysis with Hayes' PROCESS Macro (Model 4) and 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Results: Cost consciousness was positively associated with both organizational justice perception ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that cost-conscious practices in human service settings may contribute more effectively to sustainable resource use when employees perceive organizational processes as fair and transparent. Strengthening organizational justice may therefore support workforce-related efficiency and sustainable service delivery in public and social care systems.
