Differences in Burnout and Intent to Leave Between Women's Health and General Primary Care Providers in the Veterans Health Administration.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2022. 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
backgroundAlthough they are a minority of patients served by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), women Veterans comprise a fast-growing segment of these patients and have unique clinical needs. Women's health primary care providers (WH-PCPs) are specially trained and designated to provide care for women Veterans. Prior work has demonstrated that WH-PCPs deliver better preventative care and have more satisfied patients than PCPs without the WH designation. However, due to unique clinical demands or other factors, WH-PCPs may experience more burnout and intent to leave practice than general PCPs in the VHA.
objectiveTo examine differences in burnout and intent to leave practice among WH and general PCPs in the VHA.
designMulti-level logistic regression analysis of three cross-sectional waves of PCPs within the VHA using the national All Employee Survey and practice data (2017-2019). We modeled outcomes of burnout and intent to leave practice as a function of WH provider designation, gender, and other demographics and practice characteristics, such as support staff ratio, panel size, and setting.
participantsA total of 7903 primary care providers (5152 general PCPs and 2751 WH-PCPs; response rates: 63.9%, 65.7%, and 67.5% in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively). MAIN MEASURES: Burnout and intent to leave practice. KEY
resultsWH-PCPs were more burned out than general PCPs (unadjusted: 55.0% vs. 46.9%, p<0.001; adjusted: OR=1.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-1.55) but did not have a higher intention to leave (unadjusted: 33.4% vs. 32.1%, p=0.27; adjusted: OR=1.07, CI 0.81-1.41). WH-PCPs with intentions to leave were more likely to select the response option of "job-related (e.g., type of work, workload, burnout, boredom)" as their primary reason to leave.
conclusionsBurnout is higher among WH-PCPs compared to general PCPs, even after accounting for provider and practice characteristics. More research on causes of and solutions for these differences in burnout is needed.
