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

Burnout is a widespread occupational issue in the medical field, posing significant risks to both physician health and patient care worldwide. While the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the impact of systemic factors-such as excessive workloads, administrative burdens, and inefficiencies-in exacerbating physician burnout, discussions about well-being remain limited in South Korea. Given the recent challenges faced by healthcare professionals in Korea, addressing burnout has become urgent to prevent further negative outcomes. Although individual efforts toward wellness are important, they are insufficient without systemic support. Distinguishing between burnout and well-being is crucial for developing targeted interventions. Drawing on global examples, comprehensive strategies-including policy reforms, organizational support, mental health resources, and cultural shifts-are recommended to create a sustainable and supportive environment for anesthesiologists in Korea.
