Burnout, coping strategies and help-seeking in general practitioners: a two-wave survey study in Denmark.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveWork pressure remains an issue among general practitioners (GPs). Nevertheless, GPs rarely seek help for symptoms of burnout. The aim of this study was to examine whether burnout level was associated with coping strategies and help-seeking behaviour during time pressure.
designA two-wave nationwide survey (2016 and 2019) based on questionnaire data from 1059 GPs.
settingPrimary care in Denmark.
methodsBurnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), whereas coping strategies and help-seeking behaviour were measured by questions developed for the study. A composite score of quartile points was calculated for the three subscales of the MBI subscales. A score ≥9 was categorised as high level of burnout, and the composite score of 2019 was used as outcome. Data were analysed with logistic regression adjusted for sex, age and composite burnout score in 2016.
resultsHigh scores in 2016 on four key factors were associated with increased risk of high composite burnout score in 2019. These factors were compromising work (OR
conclusionCertain coping strategies used in 2016 were associated with increased risk of high burnout score in 2019, whereas lower risk of high burnout was seen in the GPs seeking help. These findings are relevant to reduce burnout rates among GPs.
