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
Background: There is evidence that occupational stress is a risk factor for turnover intentions. However, the structural relationship between occupational stress and turnover intention among emergency physicians has rarely been studied. This study aimed to examine the pathways of occupational stress on turnover intention through job satisfaction and depressive symptoms among emergency physicians in China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in China from July 2018 to August 2018. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, occupational stress, job satisfaction, depressive symptoms, and turnover intention. Hierarchical linear regression was performed to explore the related factors of turnover intention. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the pathways from occupational stress to turnover intention. Results: A total of 10,457 emergency physicians completed the questionnaire. The score of turnover intention was 11.34 (SD = 3.25), and the average item score of turnover intention was 2.84 (SD = 0.81). In structural equation modeling, the occupational stress not only had a direct effect on turnover intention (standardized direct effect = 0.311, bias-corrected 95% confidence interval [0.261, 0.361], Conclusions: Job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between occupational stress and turnover intention. However, due to the weak effect of depressive symptoms on turnover intention, the mediating role of depressive symptoms between occupational and turnover intention had little practical value. It is recommended that hospital administrators prioritize increasing job satisfaction of emergency physicians to reduce the impact of occupational stress on their turnover intention.
