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

objectiveThe objective was to assess burnout in senior hospital doctors (consultants and staff grade, associate specialist and specialty (SAS) doctors) within a UK-based NHS district general hospital (DGH).

methodA web-based survey was created using the validated abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (aMBI) with consultants and SAS doctors in a DGH. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: We measured scores on aMBI subscales: depersonalisation, emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment and efficacy.

resultsOne-hundred and seventy-eight senior clinicians (60% of consultant and SAS doctors) completed the survey with 85% of these being substantive consultants. Forty-nine per cent of senior clinicians were found to be at high risk of burnout using metrics from the aMBI.

conclusionsBurnout is prevalent among senior clinicians at this DGH.
