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

introductionOccupational Burnout involves a prolonged state of stress in the workplace. Healthcare workers, particularly oncologists, are highly susceptible to burnout.

methodsThe study conducted over a 3-month period among Lebanese oncologists through an online survey comprising two sections: one collecting socio-demographic and work-related data, and the other assessing burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).

resultsThe study surveyed 48 out of 65 oncologists working at hospitals in Lebanon. The majority were male, over 45 years old, and specialized in medical oncology. Economic challenges during the pandemic impacted oncologists, with a majority experiencing income decreases and expressing dissatisfaction with compensation. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization significantly increased while the sense of personal accomplishment decreased among oncologists from 2018 to 2023, indicating a rise in burnout prevalence. DISCUSSION: The prevalence of burnout among Lebanese oncologists hit a high levels, reflecting systemic issues within the Lebanese healthcare system and the impact of traumatic events. Age, work environment, and financial stability emerge as key factors influencing burnout and job satisfaction among oncologists. Hence, highlighting the intricate relationship between economic challenges and mental well-being in healthcare professionals.

conclusionThe study highlights a notable increase in burnout levels among Lebanese oncologists, attributed to systemic challenges, economic collapse, COVID-19 pandemic, and the Beirut blast.
