Risk of burnout syndrome in paediatricians in Bogotá, Colombia: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMJ paediatrics open, 2025. 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
backgroundBurnout syndrome is a significant issue among healthcare professionals, significantly affecting their mental well-being. Its prevalence has increased since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Colombia, data on burnout prevalence are limited, and no specific studies have been conducted in paediatrics. Therefore, this study aims to assess the risk of mental disorders and burnout syndrome among paediatricians working in various healthcare settings in Bogotá during 2023.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among paediatricians in Bogotá, Colombia. The sample size was calculated at 179 participants based on the city's paediatrician population and previous studies on burnout prevalence in paediatric emergency services. The survey included the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) for medical personnel, the Self-Report Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 and the Generalised Anxiety Disorder-2.
resultsA total of 186 surveys were collected, revealing that 95% of paediatricians were at risk of burnout syndrome. This was indicated by impairments in at least one of the three MBI domains: depersonalisation, emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment. Furthermore, a relationship was identified between unfavourable working conditions and the risk of mental illness, highlighting the urgent need for intervention by health authorities and medical organisations.
conclusionThere is a clear association between working conditions and mental health, highlighting the urgent need for action from health authorities and medical organisations.
