1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 AND

objectivesWe aimed to assess the work-life balance, job satisfaction, and life satisfaction and their correlates among physicians in Jordan. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study utilized an online questionnaire to collect information about work-life balance and related factors from practicing physicians in Jordan from August 2021 until April 2022. The survey consisted of 37 detailed self-report questions covering seven main categories: demographics, professional and academic information, impact of work on personal life, impact of personal life on work, work/personal life enhancement, the Andrew and Withney Job Satisfaction scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale developed by Diener et al. Results: The study included 625 participants. Overall, 62.9% were found to have a work-life conflict. The work-life balance score was negatively correlated with age, number of children, and years practicing medicine, while it was positively correlated with number of hours per week and number of calls. Regarding job and life satisfaction, 22.1% had a score indicating job dissatisfaction, while 20.5% disagreed with the statements indicating life satisfaction.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that work-life conflict is highly prevalent among Jordanian physicians and highlights the significance of work-life balance in supporting physicians' well-being and performance.
