Organisational commitment, job satisfaction and intention to leave among physicians in the public health sector of Cyprus: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesOrganisational commitment, job satisfaction and intention to leave constitute important characteristics of health professionals' employment status. Our study aimed at investigating the level of organisational commitment, job satisfaction in association with intention to leave among physicians.
designA cross-sectional study.
settingA survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires (the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and the Job Satisfaction Survey) among all physicians working in the public health sector of Cyprus (October 2016-January 2017).
participantsOut of 690 physicians working in the public health sector who received an invitation to participate, 511 completed the survey and 9 were excluded. Therefore, 502 physicians were included in the final analysis (response rate 73%). A total of 188 cases were excluded because they were undetermined with respect to their intention to leave and a total of 75 cases were excluded from the regression analysis due to missing values on at least one variable or due to having values considered as outliers. Therefore, a total of 239 physicians (120 men and 119 women) were included in the current analysis. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Physicians' intention to leave.
resultsA considerably large percentage of physicians (72.8%) working in the public hospitals and healthcare centres of Cyprus reported their intention to leave their job. Moreover, the majority of employees in public hospitals (78.4%) intended to leave their job, while only 21.6% of employees in health centres reported an intention to leave (p<0.001). The study also confirmed that organisational commitment and job satisfaction were negatively correlated with intention to leave. In addition, the results of this study demonstrate that certain demographics also influence physicians' intention to leave including age, gender and medical specialisation.
conclusionsCertain physicians' demographics, organisational commitment and job satisfaction constitute important parameters influencing physicians' intention to leave their job.
