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

aimThis study determined the prevalence and key determinants of burnout among nurses and midwives in Kumasi, Ghana.

designHospital-based cross-sectional study.

methodA questionnaire was used to obtain data from 391 nurses and midwives at a tertiary hospital in Kumasi, Ghana using simple random sampling.

resultsAbout 84.4% of the participants were females. The majority of the study participants experienced low burnout for all dimensions (58% in emotional exhaustion, 55.5% poor personal accomplishment and 38.3% depersonalization). Multiple regression analysis revealed that high emotional exhaustion was independently predicted by post-graduate education (β = 6.42, p = .003), lack of support from management (β = 2.07, p = .024), dislike for leadership style, (β = 3.54, p < .001) and inadequate number of staff (β = 2.93, p = .005). Age (β = 0.35, p = .004), lack of support from management (β = 1.60, p = .012), and inadequate number of staff (β = 1.49, p = .034) independently predicted high depersonalisation. Female sex (β = 4.36, p < .001) and years of practice (β = -0.26, p < .001) independently predicted low personal accomplishment.
