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

introductionProviders working with children who are dying are especially prone to burnout. The enhancement of human flourishing in providers may mitigate burnout and improve quality of care. However, the relationship between job satisfaction and human flourishing has not been well studied. This project explores factors that promote human flourishing among caregivers working with children in pediatric palliative care in South Africa.

methodsA convenience sample of caregivers working in pediatric palliative care were invited to complete an anonymous, confidential survey . The survey also included open-ended questions to explore opinions and attitudes about job satisfaction, struggles, and coping.

resultsTwenty-nine people from a variety of occupations and work environments completed the survey. The prevalence of burnout was 3/29 (10%). Life satisfaction (an indicator of flourishing) was associated with private religious activities (

conclusionsDespite job stress and the difficult work of caring for terminally ill children, several factors were associated with flourishing. These findings may help to enhance the flourishing of caregivers in the resource-challenged setting of pediatric palliative care in South Africa.
