Adaptive and maladaptive humor styles are closely associated with burnout and professional fulfillment in members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology.

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
Differences in individual humor styles (adaptive: affiliative, self-enhancing; maladaptive: aggressive, self-defeating) are associated with various wellness measures. This study examines the association of humor styles with professional fulfillment (PF) and burnout (BO) among Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) members. SGO members were surveyed in 11/2020. The survey included 64 questions (32-item Humor Styles Questionnaire, 16-item Professional Fulfillment Index, and 16-item demographic and practice characteristics). Differences among faculty physicians (FAC), physician trainees (Res/Fel), and advanced practice providers (APP) were compared. Multivariable linear regression adjusted the association of humor styles with BO and PF for possible confounders. Of 1982 members invited to participate, 320 (16.1%) returned completed surveys (69.4% FAC, 23.4% Res/Fel, and 7.2% APP). All provider types scored highest for affiliative and lowest for aggressive humor. Res/Fel were more likely to employ aggressive and self-defeating humor styles than FAC and APP. One-third of respondents met criteria for BO and half experienced PF. FAC were more fulfilled than Res/Fel (p = 0.038). BO was negatively associated with self-enhancing and positively associated with self-defeating humor. Working > 60 h/week was associated with increased BO (p = 0.008) while trainee status (p = 0.010) and age > 55 (p = 0.008) were associated with decreased BO. PF was positively associated with self-enhancing and negatively associated with self-defeating humor. Spending > 10% of work hours on administrative duties led to lower PF (p = 0.008). Beyond advocating for less working hours and administrative duties, humor-based interventions to increase self-enhancing and reducing self-defeating humor use may lead to less BO and greater PF in SGO members, especially among trainees.
