Sleep Quality as a Mediator of Burnout, Stress and Multisite Musculoskeletal Pain in Healthcare Workers: A Longitudinal Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This study aimed to verify whether sleep quality is a mediator of the relationship between burnout, stress and multisite pain in healthcare workers in a longitudinal study with 12 months of follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic. Online questionnaires were used for data collection. The sociodemographic questionnaire contained personal and occupational data. The short version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ II-Br) was used to assess burnout and stress. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-Br) assessed sleep quality over one month. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) aimed to identify the presence of multisite musculoskeletal pain in the last 12 months and the last 7 days. Mediation analysis was used to verify whether the effect of the predictor variables (burnout and stress) on the dependent variable (number of pain sites in the last 12 months and 7 days) was due to an intervening variable (sleep quality). Stress and burnout were associated with multisite pain in healthcare workers in the last 12 months and the last 7 days. Sleep quality was a significant mediator of this association in the last 12 months, indicating that some of the association between burnout, stress and multisite pain can be explained by poor sleep quality. Thus, a comprehensive approach to long-term multisite pain should consider psychosocial aspects such as burnout, stress and sleep quality.
