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

backgroundBurnout syndrome is a significant issue among healthcare professionals worldwide, marked by depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and a reduced sense of personal achievement. This psychological and physical burden profoundly affects healthcare professionals' quality of care and overall well-being. In Somalia, where the healthcare system faces numerous challenges, the escalating demand for medical services and inadequate resources, coupled with overwhelming workloads, long hours, and high-stress levels, make healthcare providers particularly vulnerable to burnout syndrome. This, in turn, affects both the mental health of healthcare personnel and the quality of care they provide.

aimTo examine the prevalence and determinants of burnout syndrome among healthcare practitioners in Mogadishu, Somalia.

methodsThis cross-sectional prospective study was performed among 246 healthcare providers employed at a tertiary care hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia, who were recruited

resultsAmong the participants, 24% (95%CI: 18.8%-29.8%) exhibited symptoms of burnout syndrome. Factors associated with burnout included female gender (AOR = 6.60; 95%CI: 2.29-19.04), being married (AOR = 3.07; 95%CI: 1.14-8.28), being divorced or widowed (AOR = 5.84; 95%CI: 1.35-25.35), working more than 7 night shifts (AOR = 3.19; 95%CI: 1.30-7.82), having less than 5 years of job experience (AOR = 5.28; 95%CI: 1.29-21.65), experiencing poor sleep quality (AOR = 5.29; 95%CI: 1.88-14.89), and exhibiting depressive (AOR = 4.46; 95%CI: 1.59-12.53) and anxiety symptoms (AOR = 7.34; 95%CI: 2.49-21.60).

conclusionThis study found that nearly one in four healthcare professionals suffers from burnout syndrome. Improving sleep quality, monitoring, and providing mental health support could enhance their well-being and patient care.
