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
Introduction: The mental health of health care workers has become a major concern, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Identifying associated factors that could be targeted for prevention and specific interventions is crucial. Objectives: To investigate burnout, suicidal ideation, and associated factors among Brazilian health care workers during the pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted from May 22 to June 22, 2020. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was used to assess three dimensions of burnout (personal, work-related, and client-related). Individual and occupational data were also evaluated. Results: Among 844 participants (81% female, age 41.9 ± 10.9 years), clinically relevant burnout rates were 54.6% according to the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory personal dimension, with an 8.3% incidence of suicidal ideation in the last month. Workplace support exhibited the strongest association with all three burnout dimensions (β = -0.29-0.37; p < 0.001) and suicidal ideation (Exp[b] = 0.95; p = 0.002), emerging as a crucial protective factor, even when adjusting for other variables. Older age, higher household income, and regular physical exercise also emerged as protective factors against burnout, but not against suicidal ideation. Female gender, direct involvement in care of COVID-19 patients, longer working hours, and self-perceived high-risk status for COVID were risk factors solely for burnout. Childhood trauma and a history of psychiatric diagnosis were associated with both burnout and suicidal ideation. Conclusions: Fostering a supportive work environment could prove to be an efective strategy to mitigate mental health risks among health care workers in response to chronic stress, even in vulnerable contexts such as major health crises.
