Perceived stress, mental health, and job satisfaction among lawyers working in public versus private sector.
Article in Industrial psychiatry journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Lawyers are exposed to a multitude of stressors; hence, a high proportion of them experience mental health issues and dissatisfaction with their jobs. However, no data compare these parameters in private and public sector lawyers from India. Aim: To compare mental health status, perceived stress, and job satisfaction in public versus private sector lawyers. Materials and Methods: Thity participants, each from lawyers working in the public and private sectors in Chandigarh, were recruited and administered a sociodemographic scale, General Health Questionnaire 12, Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale, and Generic Job Satisfaction Scale. Results: 73% and 60% of participants scored more than two on GHQ in the public and private sector groups, respectively. A significantly higher (90%) proportion of lawyers working in the public sector experienced high levels of stress when compared with lawyers working in the private sector (63%). A negative correlation between stress levels and job satisfaction was observed in both groups. Conclusion: Lawyers experience high levels of stress and mental health issues, with stress being more prevalent in public sector lawyers. There is a negative correlation between stress levels and job satisfaction in private and public sector lawyers.
