Incongruous identities: Mental distress and burnout disparities in LGBTQ+ health care professional populations.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Health care professionals are chronically overworked due to structural workplace demands and institutional challenges [1]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, US biomedical health care professionals experienced additional environmental strain [2]. Health care professionals who occupy socio-politically minoritized identities are more likely to report symptoms of distress and workplace overburden than their counterparts [2]. While minority stress and identity formation theories explain the relationship between socially constructed identity and environmental strain, these theories remain largely unexplored in LGBTQ+ health care professional populations. Furthermore, contemporary investigations into health care professional burnout and mental distress fail to include differential impacts of identity-based stress, particularly within LGBTQ+ groups. This paper proposes a theoretical explanation for differential stress experiences by health care professionals and calls for research to investigate identity congruence as a key aspect of professionalization in medical schools. Health professions researchers need to attend to identity-based stress models to address discriminatory experiences with burnout and mental distress.
