Prevalence and Associated Factors of Burnout Among Saudi Resident Doctors: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Alpha psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 prevalent psychological state among resident doctors. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence and associated factors of burnout among resident medical doctors in Medina, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 426 resident doctors in Medina city, Saudi Arabia. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) to measure this phenomenon. Results: Of the participants, 81.22% scored high on at least one subscale of burnout and 18.31% scored high on all the subscales of burnout. Burnout was related to lack of physical exercise ( Conclusion: Burnout is present among resident doctors at a relatively high rate. Numerous factors associated with burnout were evident, particularly work-related factors and sources of stress in the workplace. Therefore, the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties and the residency program directors should act to improve working conditions and work-life balance, and minimize the impact of stressors in the workplace, to minimize the consequences of burnout among resident doctors. Provisions could be enacted to implement early comprehensive assessments of burnout syndrome among medical residents for early detection to curb the burnout phenomenon within healthcare systems.
