Global Prevalence of Burnout in Gastroenterology and Endoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in United European gastroenterology journal, 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
backgroundBurnout is an increasingly recognised phenomenon that negatively affects physicians' well-being, patient safety and the sustainability of healthcare systems. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to estimate the global prevalence of burnout in gastroenterology and endoscopy.
methodsWe searched Medline, Embase, Scopus and PsycINFO up to November 2024 for studies reporting the prevalence of burnout in gastroenterology and endoscopy. The primary outcome was the prevalence of burnout among gastroenterologists and endoscopists. Secondary outcomes included the prevalence of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, low sense of personal accomplishment and gender-related differences in burnout. We used random-effects models to calculate the pooled prevalence and odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsA total of 22 studies comprising 8124 participants were included. The pooled prevalence of burnout was 45% (95% CI, 37%-54%), with significant variability observed across different geographical regions, assessment tools and definitions of burnout. The pooled prevalence of emotional exhaustion was 31% (95% CI, 22%-40%), depersonalisation was 23% (95% CI, 16%-31%), and low sense of personal accomplishment was 25% (95% CI, 10%-40%). Female gastroenterologists were more likely to experience burnout than males (OR 1.53; 95% CI, 1.16-2.01; p < 0.001).
conclusionsAlmost half of gastroenterologists and endoscopists experience burnout, with females being disproportionately affected. These findings highlight the need for urgent action to address burnout and its contributing factors, including gender disparities.
