1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Psychophysical well-being is a multidimensional concept involving positive emotions, life satisfaction, good health, and meaningful social relationships, essential for overall happiness and life success. Maintaining this well-being relies heavily on a healthy lifestyle, which significantly reduce health risks and improve quality of life. For doctors, whose work involves high mental and physical demands, psychophysical well-being is crucial, as stress and burnout can impair their health and the quality of patient care. The aim of the study was to assess the psychophysical well-being of Polish doctors and to analyzed physical activity of Polish doctors related to their psychophysical well-being. Methods: The study involved 832 (100%) physicians from hospitals located in the Silesian Voivodeship. To assess psychophysical well-being, with the authors' consent, the theoretical D scale of the Psychosocial Working Conditions Questionnaire was used to measure the perceived level of well-being and 2 factors (empirical scales D1 and D2) regarding physical and mental well-being (together described as psychophysical well-being). Physical activity was assessed using the shortened International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Results: About 20% had a low level of psychophysical well-being, especially physical well-being. Men were characterized by significantly higher psychophysical well-being ( Conclusion: The psychophysical well-being of Polish doctors was unsatisfactory, especially among women, younger doctors, those with less work experience, and those in non-surgical departments, and it was not related to their physical activity. The physical activity levels were average, with lower activity observed in female doctors and those not working on duty. There is a need to improve doctors' physical activity habits and working conditions through educational and support programs.
