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
backgroundPhysician burnout has become a critical issue in healthcare, particularly among emergency medicine physicians, who face unique stressors that can compromise their well-being and quality of life. This study investigates the relationship between burnout and quality of life in emergency medicine physicians and how these factors influence their intent to remain in practice.
methodsIn August 2024, a survey was distributed to 103 emergency physicians to assess burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and quality of life using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF survey. Demographic information and intentions regarding their continued practice in emergency medicine were also collected. Statistical analyses, including independent samples
resultsMost respondents (77.7%) were identified as being at high risk for burnout. Most physicians reported a high quality of life despite significant burnout rates, with the lowest score being psychological health (
conclusionThis study highlights the high prevalence of burnout among emergency medicine physicians and its significant impact on their quality of life and professional intentions. Furthermore, physical and psychological quality of life substantially influences emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive interventions to address burnout and enhance well-being in this demanding specialty to promote retention and improve patient care.
