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 a global problem, and resilience may support the well-being of healthcare workers (HCWs) in stressful conditions.
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the association between burnout and resilience among HCWs in intensive care units (ICU) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. DESIGN AND
settingA cross-sectional study was conducted in the ICU of four public hospitals in Fortaleza, Brazil.
methodsA face-to-face survey was conducted among HCWs in the ICUs of four public hospitals in Fortaleza between January and August 2023. The participants completed questionnaires on burnout and resilience.
resultsA total of 194 professionals, including physichians (24%), nurses (29%), nursing technicians (25%), and physiotherapists (22%), completed questionnaires on burnout and resilience through face-toface interviews. Most professionals (62%) presented with overall burnout symptoms, and an inverse association was observed between resilience and burnout. However, 16 of the 44 (34%) HCWs with the highest resilience scores experienced burnout. Furthermore, younger age and higher workload were associated with a higher prevalence of burnout.
conclusionDeterminants of burnout were identified among ICU staff members during the last year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience helped HCWs cope with burnout. However, some of the most resilient HCWs presented with high levels of burnout. Efforts are necessary to implement resilience-building tools, yet public health policies to improve ICU organizational issues are more important and urgent for promoting sustainable well-being among professionals, particularly during challenges such as pandemics. Introducing resilience-building tools and implementing public health policies are necessary to improve ICU management and promote sustainable well-being among healthcare workers in high workload settings.
