Diagnostic accuracy of the Single-item Measure of Burnout (Japanese version) for identifying medical resident burnout.
Article in Journal of general and family medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Burnout is a psychological syndrome consisting of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and decreased professional efficacy. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is widely used as the standard measure. However, the MBI is lengthy and not free to use, which makes it a less than ideal tool for regularly assessing burnout. The single question burnout measure (SMB) is a novel and simple measure of burnout, which is associated well with emotional exhaustion and has sufficient diagnostic performance for burnout. This study aimed to evaluate the concurrent and convergent validity of the Japanese version of the single-item measure of burnout (SMB-J) compared with the MBI. Methods: Ninety-four medical residents volunteered to complete the MBI-General Survey (MBI-GS) and the SMB-J. We assessed the concurrent (sensitivity and specificity) and convergent validity of the SMB-J compared with the MBI-GS. Results: The sensitivity for identifying burnout using the SMB-J was 53.8%, and the specificity was 88.2%. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.71. MBI-GS scores on the subscales of Emotional Exhaustion ( Conclusions: We concluded that for identifying burnout among Japanese medical residents, the psychometric properties of the SMB-J are comparable to those of the original version of the SMB. Although the SMB-J has low sensitivity to detect burnout, it is more convenient to use than the MBI.
