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

backgroundBurnout is a stress-induced occupational related syndrome, characterized by Emotional Exhaustion (EE), feeling of depersonalization (DP) and low sense of professional accomplishment (PA). The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of interventions in decreasing health professionals Burnout as well as work and life-style risk factors.  Methods: A survey in Medical Oncology Department in the University Hospital of Parma was conducted using the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and two additional questionnaires exploring lifestyle and work factors. An 8-months intervention involved fortnight meetings by facilitators, incorporated elements of reflection, shared experiences and managing emotions. Six months after the end of the intervention a second survey was performed among the participants using MBI and the same questionnaires mentioned above.  Results: EE resulted the most problematic score in Day Hospital: after the 8-month intervention we described a significant decreasing in EE score especially for Day Hospital operators (from 16.7 to 10.9) and a considerable reduction in DP score. In the Oncology Ward a correlation between lack of collaboration among different health categories and DE score was detected; in the Day Hospital the absence of solid working teams was related to higher EE scores.  Conclusion: The Oncology professional health care personnel are at the greatest risk of Burnout. Our study in Oncology Department shows that specific intervention should be used to prevent and reduce Burnout. Effective personal health care strategies should be incorporated into routine oncology care to prevent and treat Burnout.
