[Subjective and objective work stress among ophthalmologists in private practice in Thuringia : Results of a state-wide survey].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPhysicians are highly vulnerable to work-related stress; however, little is known about the workload of ophthalmologists. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn March 2017 a cross-sectional and paper-based survey of all practice-based ophthalmologists in the federal state of Thuringia was conducted. Additionally, data from 2016 and 2009 using physician fee schedule datasets provided by the Thuringian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians were analyzed.
resultsThe response rate was 27% (n = 42 ophthalmologists) of which 95% (n = 40) exceeded the effort-reward cut-off value (>1) indicating a high level of work stress. The overall number of treatment cases did not show a statistically significant difference between 2016 and 2009 (n = 118 ophthalmologists, p = 0.412). In contrast, the number of treatment cases of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and essential (primary) hypertension was statistically significantly higher in 2016 compared to 2009 (n = 118 ophthalmologists, p < 0.05).
conclusionAlmost all respondents reported a high level of work stress and this was reflected in the number of treatment cases of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension, which was statistically significantly higher in 2016 than in 2009. The results suggest that working conditions should be adapted to meet the needs of chronically ill patients and reduce physicians' workload at the same time.
