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

objectivesThis study explored the relationship between fear of future workplace violence (FFWV) and burnout, and the moderating effect of psychological resilience on this relationship.

methodsWe recruited 413 pediatricians from 26 specialized and general hospitals in China's Shandong provinces and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from August 2021 to April 2022. Fear of future workplace violence was measured using the Fear of Future Violence at Work Scale. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Psychological resilience was measured using the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between FFWV and burnout. The SPSS PROCESS macro was used to examine the moderating effect of psychological resilience on this relationship.

resultsAbout 85.7% of pediatricians experienced a medium or high level of fear. Fear of future workplace violence was significantly and positively associated with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment (B = 0.23, SE = 0.39, P < .001; B = 0.06, SE = 0.13, P < .001; B = 0.17, SE = 0.03, P < .001, respectively, where B denotes the unstandardized regression coefficient). The interaction effects of FFWV and psychological resilience on emotional exhaustion (B = -0.008; 95% CI, -0.01 to -0.004) and depersonalization (B = -0.003; 95% CI, -0.005 to -0.001) were statistically significant. The protective effect conforms to the "protective-stabilizing" model.

conclusionsPsychological resilience training may be beneficial for pediatricians in preventing high levels of emotional exhaustion and cynicism resulting from FFWV.
