Burnout among lawyers: effects of workload, latitude and mediation via engagement and over-engagement.
Article in Psychiatry, psychology, and law : an interdisciplinary journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Psychiatry, Psychology and Law, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
The legal profession is subject to many stereotypes, and it is difficult to find figures in France on the reality of the psychological difficulties in this profession. Burnout is especially a significant problem among these professionals. Practicing as a lawyer may involve high levels of stress and burnout. This study aimed at testing how exhaustion was influenced by workload, latitude and engagement. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 181 French lawyers. Based on the results, the level of burnout among lawyers decreased with decision latitude but increased with workload. Mediation analyses showed that work engagement and over-engagement had a total mediating role between latitude and burnout. Over-engagement played a partial mediating role between workload and burnout. Several practical implications were developed from these results.
