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

The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) is the most widely used work engagement measure. However, its cultural validity regarding factor structure and other psychometric characteristics remains unclear in certain cultural contexts. Thus, this study aimed to assess UWES-9, shortened version of UWES, in the Czech cultural environment psychometrically. A Sample of 707 employees (Age: M = 43.65, SD = 10.08, Females: 38.47%) recruited from various companies in the Czech Republic was used. Neuroticism, extraversion, self-efficacy, spirituality, chronic health diseases, and frequency of health risk behavior were measured. Higher UWES-9 total scores were reported for professional staff, managers, and people with higher vocational school or university scores. Additionally, a significant difference was also found in family status, with individuals in a relationship reporting higher work absorption. Among the tested factor models the modified three-factor solution: χ
