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

objectivesTo assess the influence of burnout in family physicians on their score on the EQA index.

designObservational study. SITE: Study conducted in the primary care centers of the Terrassa Health Consortium, in Vallès Occidental, Catalonia.

participantsPrimary care physicians with a basic care unit were included. Of the 107 family doctors working in the 8 primary care centers of the Terrassa Health Consortium, 73 professionals participated.

interventionsA self-administered survey was carried out with demographic and occupational elements such as age, gender, length of service at the work center, the MBI and the last self-reported EQA value belonging to the year 2023. MAIN MEASURES: Sociodemographic variables were analysed; years of experience and clinical variables such as the EQA, the Maslach test and its dimensions emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal fulfilment. The Maslach Burnout Inventory test was administered. The level of statistical significance considered was 5%.

resultsSeventy-threefamily doctors took the Maslach test, 54 (74%) had burnout, of which 21.9% (16) were severe. A statistically significant relationship was found between burnout and EQA (P=.023) and between emotional exhaustion and EQA (P=.013) in the mild and severe categories (P=.003).

conclusionsFamily physicians with burnout have a lower EQA value, which is not associated with age, sex or years of experience, but with the emotional exhaustion suffered.
