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: Nowadays, burnout syndrome (BS) has been widely studied due to the increasing and high work demands to which workers are exposed. To date, there is a lack of studies that analyze the relationship between age and its impact on employees in the Mexican manufacturing industry. Objective: This research aims to determine the relationship between BS, its dimensions, and age among operative employees, senior, and middle managers in this industry. Methods: The 16-item Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) was used to gather data and measure BS by grade and level. Nine hundred thirty-three employees voluntarily answered the instrument. First, the instrument was validated through psychometric tests to ensure reliability. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and sphericity tests confirm the feasibility of the factorial analysis. The model's fit adjustment was tested using structural equation modeling with AMOS. Then, the BS was obtained by grades and levels. Subsequently, the Spearman Rho correlation analysis was carried out between the BS grades by dimension (Emotional exhaustion, Cynicism, and Lack of Professional Efficiency) and age group (up to 40 years and over 40 years). Finally, a hypothesis test for differences between means was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences by BS dimension's grade regarding age. Results: The instrument's reliability is good, with Cronbach's alpha value greater than 0.8 for each dimension. The instrument's structure was confirmed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). However, the structural equation models do not meet the goodness-of-fit criteria when the sample is divided into two age groups. Furthermore, the entire sample obtained medium grades for each dimension and a medium level of BS. Significant but weak correlations were obtained between age, cynicism, and professional efficiency. The mean test shows significant differences in the dimensions of cynicism ( Conclusion: The sample studied has a medium BS level. Accordingly, age exhibits negative and positive correlations with cynicism and professional efficiency, respectively, even when they are weak. Psychometric tests corroborate the instrument's reliability, not its validity.
