Burnout phenomenon in Saudi dermatology residents: a national assessment of prevalence and contributing factors.
Article in Dermatology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A cross-sectional study was conducted between March and August 2021; an electronic survey was administered to all dermatology residents (n=79) in all centers with the Saudi Board Dermatology Training Program in the western, eastern and southern regions. Participation was voluntary, and written informed consent was obtained before the study. The survey was completed by 70 dermatology residents, for an 88.61% response rate. All the participants were aware of the study's aims, and their informed consent was obtained. The study design complied with the Declaration of Helsinki ethical standards and was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University in Saudi Arabia. A total of 70 respondents completed the questionnaire. High emotional exhaustion (EE) was present in 47.1% of respondents, low personal accomplishment (PA) was present in 65.7%, and high depersonalization (DP) was the least prevalent (24.3%) across all burnout dimensions of dermatology residents. Overall burnout was present in 21.4% of the dermatology residents. Multivariate analysis showed that the odds of EE were significantly lower in males than females [odds ratio (OR)=0.2, P=0.016] and the higher number of patients seen per clinic (OR=1.09, P=0.032) was associated with higher odds of having a high risk of EE, while higher satisfaction with work-life balance was associated with lower odds of a high risk of EE (OR=0.47, P=0.005). A higher number of study hours/week was associated with lower odds of low PA (OR=0.95, P=0.02). Similarly, higher satisfaction with career was associated with lower odds of low PA (OR=0.35, P=0.042). Multivariate analysis showed that only exercise (OR=0.21, P=0.05) and satisfaction with work-life balance (OR=0.42, P=0.008) were associated with a lower risk of burnout. Our study adds the burnout rates among dermatology residents in Saudi Arabia, in addition to possible risk factors that can predict burnout, to the literature. These findings can be applied to improve training programs and reduce the burnout rate among residents.
