The effect depression levels in midwives have on burnout and their level of job satisfaction.
Article in European journal of midwifery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionThis study aimed to determine the effect of depression levels in midwives on burnout and job satisfaction.
methodsThe sample of this descriptive study consisted of 322 midwives working in a province located in the eastern region of Turkey. Data were collected by using the Personal Information Form, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MJSQ) Short Form.
resultsThe rate of midwives experiencing depression was found to be 9.6%. The mean score of MJSQ was 64.59±13.29, while the mean scores for the sub-dimensions of MBI were: emotional burnout 18.57±6.65, decrease in sense of personal accomplishment 21.65±3.93, and depersonalization 6.25±3.86. It was found that midwives who did not experience depression (90.4%) had a higher level of job satisfaction and a higher sense of personal accomplishment (p<0.05). On the other hand, midwives experiencing depression (9.6%) had higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. It was found that there was a negative weak relationship between BDI and job satisfaction and personal accomplishment, and a positive weak relationship between BDI and emotional exhaustion (p<0.05).
conclusionsIt was determined that midwives with depression have lower levels of job satisfaction and personal success, and experience emotional exhaustion more frequently. In addition, it was observed that as the level of depression decreased, job satisfaction and personal success increased significantly, whereas emotional exhaustion decreased.
