Exploring the correlation between nocturnal awakenings and occupational burnout in internal medicine physicians via online survey.

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
This study aims to screen for occupational burnout among internal medicine physicians through an online survey, and to explore the relationship between burnout and anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep. The findings are expected to help improve the mental and physical health of physicians, thereby enhancing the medical quality in hospitals. Maslach burnout inventory-general survey (MBI-GS) was used to assess physicians' burnout status, Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire (MSQ) was used to evaluate the job satisfaction, Generalized anxiety disorder 7 (GAD-7), Patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Perceived stress scale (PSS) were used to assess the psychological status, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to evaluate sleep conditions. Frequent nocturnal awakenings significantly increase the risk of occupational burnout, but the impact differs by gender. For men, nocturnal awakenings ≤ 2 times/week do not significantly increase the burnout risk, while ≥ 3 times/week significantly increase the risk. For women, 1 or more nighttime awakenings per week significantly increase burnout risk, with a stronger effect than in men. Nocturnal awakenings 1-2 times/week and ≥ 3 times/week are independent risk factors for burnout. However, individuals with positive results on the GAD/PHQ/PSS scales showed a significantly higher risk of moderate burnout, even with less frequent nocturnal awakenings (< 1 time/week). As the frequency of nocturnal awakenings increases, the risk of burnout also increases, and GAD/PHQ/PSS positivity further exacerbates the risk. Nocturnal awakening is an independent risk factor for occupational burnout, with an increased risk among individuals testing positive for GAD/PHQ/PSS.
