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

contextIndividual factors can affect numerous work-life interface outcomes, including work-family conflict and burnout. Recently, the concept of work addiction has been investigated as an individual factor that could affect numerous outcomes. Despite the large body of literature investigating work-family conflict and burnout in athletic training, little is known about the incidence of work addiction or its potential effect on these outcomes.

objectiveTo gather descriptive data on the work-addiction risk and examine the effect work addiction may have on work-life interface outcomes in athletic training.

designCross-sectional study.

settingOnline web-based survey. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participantsAthletic trainers (ATs) employed in all work settings were recruited to participate via social media and email distribution lists. Data from 226 (n = 65, 28.8% males; n = 161, 71.2% females) ATs, currently employed in more than 13 work settings, were included in data analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The online questionnaire consisted of 4 main sections: demographic questions, work-family conflict scale, Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, and the Work Addiction Risk Test. We calculated Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests to determine if group differences existed. Simple linear regressions were used to assess if work-addiction risk scores predicted burnout and work-family conflict.

resultsThe ATs experienced moderate levels of personal (55.0 ± 19.1) and work-related (50.0 ± 16.0) burnout and were at medium risk for work addiction (58.3 ± 11.2). No demographic differences were observed in burnout or work-family conflict scores, but these scores differed based on the work-addiction risk. Women were more at risk for compulsive tendencies than were men. Work-addiction risk scores predicted both burnout and work-family conflict, but only a relatively small percentage of the variability was explained.

conclusionsThose ATs at higher risk for work addiction reported higher levels of burnout. Because of the medium risk for work addiction among ATs, work-addiction mitigation strategies should be implemented by individuals and organizations.
