Occupational Stress and Burnout Among Health Care Workers in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Review in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectiveTo estimate the pooled national burden of occupational stress, burnout, and contributing factors among health care workers in Ethiopia. DATA SOURCES: Both published and unpublished observational studies conducted on the burden of occupational stress and burnout among health workers in Ethiopia were included. STUDY SELECTION: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020166585). The eligibility of the studies was evaluated based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Data extraction was conducted using major databases; PubMed, Google Scholar, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Scopes, Cochrane Library, the Web of Science, and African Journals Online were involved in the review. Two reviewers extracted data independently using a standardized data extraction checklist on Microsoft Excel. Any discrepancy was resolved by including the third reviewer for a possible consensus. DATA SYNTHESIS: Fourteen studies, with a total of 4066 health care workers, were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled burdens of occupational stress and burnout were 52.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 46.2
conclusionsMore than half and more than one-third of health care workers were affected by occupational stress and burnout, respectively, in Ethiopia, and sociodemographic and occupation-related factors were significant factors. Measures that improve job satisfaction, career development, and educational opportunities should be strengthened.
