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

objectiveTo determine the degree of burnout or professional wear-and-tear in doctors from the Talavera de la Reina Health Area and linked factors.

designTransversal, descriptive study.

participantsDoctors in primary care (PC) (n=106) and specialist care (SC) (n=129). MEASUREMENTS AND

resultsMaslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire and a survey with social and demographic variables and suggestions. Both were anonymous and self-administered.

results144 (61.27%) answered, 63 from PC and 81 SC. 72.2% were male, with a mean age of 45 (with little variability between PC and SC). Average years worked were 18.65. 102 (70.83%) worked cover. 85 (59.02%) had an indefinite contract, 49 (34.02%) a temporary one, and 10 (6.94%) other kinds. 76.4% of the professionals suffered burnout (moderate in 38.9% and high in 37.5%). The difference between PC and SC burnout (85.7% vs 69.1%) was statistically significant. In the remaining variables studied (age, sex, marital status, working of cover shifts.) we found no significant differences. Among suggestions to mitigate burnout were demands to support improvements in working conditions, greater personal and professional recognition, involvement of the government and management, economic remuneration, providing more training and research, etc.

conclusionsProfessional wear-and-tear or burnout is very high in our area, and is higher in PC than in SC.
