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
backgroundNurses are vulnerable to burnout due to the high risk and pressure associated with their job performance. The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic imposed an additional demand and stress on the healthcare workforce worldwide. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of burnout syndrome among nurses working in COVID-19 isolation hospitals and its associated factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 385 nurses working in two COVID-19 isolation hospitals between April and August 2022 in Alexandria, Egypt. A predesigned self-administered questionnaire including questions about sociodemographic and work-related factors and an Arabic-translated version of Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey "MBI-HSS" was used.
resultsOf the total sample, 82.3% had high levels of emotional exhaustion (EE) with a mean score of 35.43 ± 9.52 (The range of the subscale score for EE = 0-54), 60.8% had a high level of depersonalization (DP) with a mean of 13.63 ± 5.81 (The range for DP = 0-30), 34.5% had a low level of personal accomplishment (PA) with a mean score of 33.70 ± 7.43 (The range for PA = 0-48 (reversed). Nurses having no children, nurses with higher educational level, and those who reported inadequacy of the number of physicians had significantly higher odds (3.98, 2.37, and 3.25, respectively) of having a high level of emotional exhaustion. Nurses having no children, and those who reported inadequacy of the number of physicians in their units had significantly higher odds (2.4 and 2.2) of having a high level of depersonalization.
conclusionNurses working in COVID-19 isolation hospitals had high levels of burnout syndrome. Predictors of EE or DP included having no children, higher levels of education, and reporting an inadequate number of physicians. Stress coping training and psychological and social support services are recommended to overcome the relevant stresses and burnout provoking factors.
