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
Background: The mental health of healthcare workers, particularly family medicine residents, is an area of growing concern, more so in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. High levels of burnout and depression among these professionals can affect their well-being and patients' quality of care. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the prevalence of depression and burnout among family medicine residents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 213 family medicine residents, using a self-administered survey. The survey included the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 to assess burnout and depression. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participants' characteristics, and regression model was developed to explore predictors of burnout and depression. Results: The mean age of participants was 26.85±1.42 years, and 53.3% were males. The study found a high prevalence of emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) among participants, with mean scores of 21.10±9.38 and 15.44±7.69, respectively, indicating moderate to high levels. Similarly, a high level of personal accomplishment (PA) was reported, with a mean score of 11.46±6.33. Around 10% of participants reported moderately severe and severe depression, with a mean PHQ-9 scale score of 6.03±5.10. Gender and depression severity were significantly associated with burnout (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The study underscores a significant prevalence of burnout and depression among family medicine residents in Riyadh, with notable variations across different demographic and professional characteristics. This necessitates tailored mental health interventions for this population, especially in challenging times like the ongoing pandemic.
