Educational roles impact burnout in paediatric undergraduate medical educators.
Article in The clinical teacher, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundPhysician burnout impacts all levels of medical education and has a relatively unknown impact on those responsible for medical student education, particularly in paediatrics. This study examines the prevalence of burnout among paediatric undergraduate medical educators and explores the impact of roles in medical education on medical educator burnout.
methodsThis cross-sectional mixed-methods study utilised a binational survey of paediatricians involved in undergraduate medical education. Respondents answered demographics, standardised questions about burnout and attitudes towards students, and an open-ended probe about interactions between medical student education and wellness.
findingsOf 445 possible, 120 (26.9%) responded to demographic and burnout questions. Of these, 23.3% endorsed burnout, 21.7% high emotional exhaustion (EE) and 10.8% high depersonalisation (DP). High levels of student-related burnout symptoms were reported by fewer than 5% of respondents and were correlated with overall EE and DP. Content analysis revealed four emergent themes: positive effect of student-related role, need to balance medical education and clinical roles, impact of protected time and medical education-related autonomy on educator well-being, and the burden of the administrative portion of educational roles. DISCUSSION: Participating paediatric educators had low rates of burnout compared with paediatricians as a whole in prior studies. The vast majority found working with students rewarding and described the overall positive impact of their medical education role on wellness.
conclusionPhysician involvement in rewarding non-clinical activities may improve their overall well-being. Providing dedicated time for these activities may ameliorate the difficulty that many medical educators described in balancing their clinical and educational roles. Future studies should continue to explore how we can better support medical educators and the impact of this support on burnout.
