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

In the Anglo-American world the field of surgeon well-being is already very prominent, while in Germany it is still underrepresented. In this article, we aim to analyze the challenges and factors that affect the well-being of surgeons, including stress, burnout, workload, job satisfaction, autonomy, leadership, teamwork and work-life integration. Additionally, we discuss the connection between surgeon well-being and the shortage of new talent in surgery, which is currently being exacerbated by increasing treatment and physician demands, the age development of specialists and an overall high turnover. Finally, we propose several solutions that can be implemented at individual, institutional and systemic levels to promote and maintain the well-being of surgeons. These include improving working conditions, providing resources and support, promoting resilience and mindfulness and recognizing and appreciating achievements.
