Factors associated with satisfaction of Italian physicians: a cross-sectional study in Rome.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Introduction: Healthcare workers' (HCW) quality of life and job satisfaction are critical for their well-being and performance, influencing patient outcomes and reducing burnout. Burnout, linked to excessive workloads, night shifts, and low income, is a recognized issue among HCW, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to explore work-life balance and professional satisfaction among members of the Physicians and Dental Surgeons Board of Rome (OMCeO Rome). Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to June 2023 among OMCeO Rome members. An anonymous, digitally designed questionnaire assessed sociodemographic and professional data, perceived stress, and overall satisfaction using a Likert scale. Data were analyzed descriptively, and logistic regression identified predictors of satisfaction. Results: The survey included 1,104 respondents, predominantly aged over 50. Satisfaction levels were polarized: 47.4% reported high satisfaction, while 49.4% expressed low satisfaction. Night shifts and income below €100,000/year were significantly associated with lower satisfaction (OR 1.9 and OR 3.9, respectively). General practitioners/primary care paediatricians reported the highest stress levels, while self-employed professionals showed the lowest stress and intention to quit. Discussion: Work-life balance challenges, including night shifts and inadequate income, strongly influence HCW job satisfaction. Addressing these factors through administrative support, reduced workloads, and targeted interventions could mitigate burnout and improve care quality. Further studies should explore systemic and individual strategies to enhance HCW well-being and professional sustainability.
