The growing issue of burnout in radiology - a survey-based evaluation of driving factors and potential impacts in pediatric radiologists.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundBurnout in medicine, and specifically radiology, has been receiving more attention. Little data-driven literature is available regarding risk factors/causes to ultimately help guide the development of potential solutions.
objectiveTo survey pediatric radiologists, a cohort with a documented high prevalence of burnout, and to understand the impact of clinical demands on nonclinical tasks and the implications of burnout on mental health. MATERIALS AND
methodsA survey of Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) North America attendings was performed regarding institutional factors contributing to burnout, including call burden, clinical demands, departmental support and administrative/academic tasks. Questions regarding mental health and wellness resources were also included. Generalized linear modeling assuming binomial distribution was used for analyses with SAS 9.4.
resultsThe response rate was 305/1,282 (24%) with 53% of respondents female. Respondents reported that both the number and complexity of clinical cases have increased since they first started practice as an attending, while the time for interpretation has not changed, P<0.0001. Using a scale of 0 (never), 1 (rarely), 2 (sometimes), 3 (frequently) and 4 (always), covering multiple hospitals (2.2) and administrative tasks (2.4) were the most stressful job factors. For those in administrative roles, the most stressful job factors were job-related tasks affected teaching duties (2.0) and decreased overall job satisfaction (2.0). Of the respondents, 52% said they know a physician affected by work stress-related mental illness and 25% know a physician who has contemplated or committed suicide. While 39% of the respondents have resources available to address burnout, only 33% utilize these resources.
conclusionIncreasing clinical demands and additional institutional/departmental factors play a potential role in burnout, which has serious implications for the mental health of pediatric radiologists.
