Psychometric properties of the Burnout Assessment Tool across four countries.
Article in BMC public health, 2023. 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
backgroundThe Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) is a new burnout measure developed to replace the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Studies have supported the psychometric properties and cross-cultural measurement invariance of the BAT. However, some unresolved questions remain. These questions are the appropriate level of score interpretation, convergent validity with the MBI, and measurement invariance using sample groups from countries outside of Europe.
methodsWe used a cross-sectional survey approach to obtain 794 participants from Australia (n = 200), the Netherlands (n = 199), South Africa (n = 197), and the United States (n = 198). In brief, we used bifactor modelling to investigate the appropriate score interpretation and convergent validity with the MBI. Hereafter, we used the Rasch model and ordinal logistic regression to investigate differential item functioning.
resultsThe bifactor model showed a large general factor and four small group factors, which suggests calculating and interpreting a general burnout score. This model further shows that the BAT and MBI measure the same burnout construct but that the BAT is a more comprehensive burnout measure. Most items fit the Rasch model, and few showed non-negligible differential item functioning.
conclusionsOur results support the psychometric properties and cross-cultural measurement invariance of the BAT in Australia, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the United States. Furthermore, we provide some clarity on the three previously mentioned unresolved questions.
