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
backgroundPressure faced by dental students from academic activities, clinical skills training, and patient care may lead to high stress and potential burnout, negatively impacting their well-being and patient safety.
aimThe study aimed to explore the burnout level of dental students at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia and to identify the factors that are associated with the level of burnout.
methodsThe descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at Dental College, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, from January to February 2024. The study was conducted to evaluate burnout levels among first to final-year undergraduate dental students enrolled at Qassim University using a pre-validated questionnaire; Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire, via Google Forms. Analysis was performed with IBM SPSS-24, utilizing descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests, Mann-Whitney-U and Kruskal-Wallis. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to predict Burnout from demographic and academic factors.
results151 participants responded to the survey, with 49.7% male and 50.3% female. Results showed that burnout scores increased significantly (p < 0.05) with age and decreased family support. Males had lower burnout levels in comparison to their counterparts. The survey had three domains: Overload, Neglect, and Development, with 'Overload' having the highest mean score of 17.79 and a median score of 17.00. Age showed significant difference (p < .05) in the burnout scores amongst the groups across all three domains. 70.9% of the participants agreed that they invested an unhealthy amount of time towards their studies. The multiple regression model statistically significantly predicted Burnout, F (21, 129) = 2.190, p = .004, adj. R
conclusionFactors like age, family support and gender were found to have a significant with burnout levels and its domains. The study highlighted overload as the main contributing the most towards burnout in dental students of Qassim University, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions to promote student well-being.
