Assessing burnout and quality of life among residents and fellows in a high-stress environment: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPostgraduate medical trainees (PGMT) are at increased risk of burnout and diminished quality of life (QoL) due to the intense demands of medical training, especially in conflict-affected regions where additional stressors prevail. This study evaluates burnout and QoL levels among PGMT in a tertiary medical center and identifies associated predictors.
methodsA cross-sectional study conducted among 112 PGMT between May and June 2024 used the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and the WHOQOL-BREF to assess burnout and QoL, respectively. Bivariate and multivariable analyses identified predictors of MBI-HSS subscales (emotional exhaustion (EX), depersonalization (DP), and professional efficacy (PE)) and WHOQOL-BREF domains (physical, psychological, social and environmental) respectively.
resultsThis study found that 58% of the participants exhibited high levels of emotional EX, 28% showed high levels of DP, and 50% reported low levels of PE. QoL scores across physical, psychological, social, and environment domains ranged from 57.7 to 58.7. Social isolation, chronic disease, and financial challenges had statistically significant positive associations with burnout subscales and reduced QoL in various domains.
conclusionBurnout levels among PGMT are more favorable than expected but EX and low PE levels remain concerns. QoL perceptions across various domains were moderately satisfactory, yet issues such as social isolation, mental health problems, and financial difficulties negatively impacted trainees' well-being. Targeted interventions to manage burnout and enhance QoL remain essential for trainees' well-being and the effective functioning of medical institutions.
