Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundPublic health physicians are experiencing increased work stress and workload, leading to heightened negative emotions and presenteeism. This study investigates the relationship between job burnout and presenteeism among primary public health physicians in China and explores the potential mediating effect of depressive symptoms, and moderating effects of coping styles and organizational support on these associations.
methods955 primary public health physicians were surveyed from September to December 2022 in China. Presenteeism was assessed using the Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6). A moderated mediation model was used to understand the moderating relationship between job burnout (X), depressive symptoms (M) mediated presenteeism (Y), coping styles (W1), and organizational support (W2), controlling for all possible covariates.
results69.95% of participants showed job burnout in work and 50.16% experienced depressive symptoms, with the average score of presenteeism 16.90 ± 5.74. Job burnout was positively associated with presenteeism score (Effect = 2.23, 95%CI [1.93,2.53]). Mediation analyses revealed that depressive symptoms significantly mediated this relationship (indirect effect = 0.96, 95%CI [0.70,1.25]). Moderated mediation further indicated that the interaction of coping styles and job burnout was negatively related to depressive symptoms, and the interaction of organizational support and depressive symptoms was positively related to presenteeism among public health physicians.
conclusionHigh job burnout and higher depressive symptoms may contribute to presenteeism. Positive coping styles and appropriate organizational support could buffer the detrimental effects by reducing job burnout and depressive symptoms. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
