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

objectiveto analyze the validity evidence of the BAT - General version in a sample of Brazilian nursing workers.

methoda cross-sectional study design with non-probability sampling method was used among 3594 Brazilian nursing workers. The validity evidence was assessed by means of analysis based on the internal structure, on the relations to external variables, and on response process of the items.

resultsthe factor models of the BAT - General version showed goodness-of-fit to the data. However, the complete factor model enabled a better understanding of burnout syndrome in the sample. It was attested the BAT - General version dimensions were positively correlated with depression, anxiety and stress symptoms and negatively correlated with job satisfaction and satisfaction with life. The validity evidence analysis based on response process of the items revealed that BAT - General version works properly both in the group of nursing workers who reported having emotional or psychological health problems and in the group who denied these problems.

conclusionthe results provided robust validity evidence of the BAT - General version in Brazilian nursing workers.

background(1) BAT - General version was shown to be a robust and consistent instrument. (2) BAT - General version can become an important management tool for nursing leaders. (3) It is a tool that can be used in the individual assessment of burnout symptoms. (4) BAT - General version should not be used for clinic diagnosis of burnout.
