Generalized Anxiety Disorder Among Physicians: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundGeneralized anxiety disorder (GAD) is defined as excessive worry that occurs on most days for at least six months, causes significant distress or impairment, and is associated with increased use of health services. METHODOLOGY: A cross‑sectional study was carried out among physicians working in Saudi Arabia through an online questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of a sociodemographic part and the validated Arabic version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder‑7 (GAD‑7) questionnaire.
resultsThe study included 110 physicians, 63 (57.3%) of whom were women with a mean age of 36.9 ± 10.0 years. Men represented 47 (42.7%) of the participants. The majority of the participants were non-Saudi (80, 72.7%). According to their scores on the GAD-7, 40 (36.4%) participants had no anxiety, 35 (31.8%) had mild anxiety, 25 (22.7%) had moderate anxiety, and 10 (9.1%) had severe anxiety. A score of 10 on the GAD-7 represented a reasonable cutoff point for identifying cases of anxiety. Accordingly, we found that 35 (31.8%) of the participating physicians had anxiety.
conclusionPhysicians working in Saudi Arabia showed a significant rate of general anxiety disorder. Early detection, health education, and treatment are recommended.
