[Burnout and psychological distress among trainee General Practitioners].
Article in Atencion primaria, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence of burnout and psychological distress among trainee General Practitioners of two training placements and its relationship with the year of residence, lifestyle and working conditions.
designCross-sectional study. LOCATION: Primary Care.
participantsOn-site surveys for all trainees of two training placements (n = 278), including all trainees of the sample. The response percentage is 76.9%. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Prevalence of burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale and prevalence of psychological distress using the General Health Questionnaire-12 scale (GHQ-12). Also variables on lifestyles, labor organization and drug use. OUTCOMES: 72% of participants are women. The prevalence of burnout is 33.8% (CI 95% 27.0-40.6), being 25.6% (CI 95% 19.5-31.7) emotional exhaustion, 37.9% (CI 95% 31.0-44.7)depersonalization and 52.9% (CI 95% 45.9-59.9) the low personal accomplishment. Prevalence increases significantly in all dimensions after the second year of training, except in personal accomplishment. The prevalence of emotional distress is 40.4% (CI 95% 33.5-47.3), without significant differences according to year of training. In the group of trainees with psychological distress, 50.0% also have burnout, while this percentage is 22.1% among those who do not present psychological distress.
conclusionsThe prevalence of emotional distress and burnout (especially in low personal accomplishment) is high in trainee General Practitioners. The prevalence in higher than the described in previous studies for other groups of health professionals and should be taken into account to develop preventive measures.
