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
background and purposeIn Germany there is a lack of general practitioners (GP) that is forecasted to grow. Against this background a study of job satisfaction is of major interest. The purpose of this study was to analyse the job satisfaction of German GPs.
methodsThe study is based on data from an observational study in 676 primary care physicians in Germany between 2004 and 2007 taking part in the European Practice Assessment (EPA). The evaluation of job satisfaction was one part of EPA. Job satisfaction was measured with the 10-item Warr-Cook-Wall (WCW) scale. The possible answers ranged from 1 (extreme dissatisfaction) to 7 (extreme satisfaction). Furthermore the characteristics of GPs (gender, age, working hours) were analysed.
resultsOverall from the 676 primary care physicians 523 were GPs and took part in the survey. Job satisfaction was low by "income", "hours of work" and "mental working condition". A high degree of satisfaction was reported for "colleagues and fellow workers". Mainly working hours had a significant influence of job satisfaction followed by age and gender.
conclusionOverall, the results show good values of satisfaction with job situation. However there is space for improvement within the field of payment and working condition. Against this background of the lack of GPs it is important to consider these aspects of job satisfaction for GPs.
