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.

Abstract

purposeRecent data suggest that the rate of burnout among oncologists has risen over time. In addition to the negative effect of burnout on individuals, widespread burnout may prevent the oncology workforce from meeting patient care needs.

methodsASCO surveyed US-based oncologists in patient care roles about their professional well-being and satisfaction and the effect of both on their career plans. Burnout was assessed using measures of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization from the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey. Data from the 2023 survey were compared with data from Shanafelt et al (JCO, 2014) collected about oncologist burnout/well-being in 2013.

resultsIn all, 328 responses to the 2023 survey were analyzed. Burnout was significantly higher compared with 2013, 45% in 2013 versus 59% in 2023 (

conclusionOncologists in 2023 are experiencing higher rates of burnout compared with a decade ago. System-based interventions to reduce burnout are necessary to maintaining an adequate workforce to provide care for current and future patients with cancer.
