Breast Remote Reading: Widely Desired But Home Workstations Show No Association With Job Satisfaction Or Burnout.
Article in Journal of breast imaging, 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
objectiveUnderstand radiologists' opinions regarding remote breast imaging and determine whether having home workstations is associated with greater job satisfaction or less burnout.
methodsA 43-question survey on remote breast imaging was distributed to Society of Breast Imaging members (July 6 to August 2, 2023). Questions regarding job satisfaction and burnout were included. Pearson's chi-squared tests compared demographic variables and responses. Multiple-variable logistic regression assessed associations between home workstations and job satisfaction or burnout.
resultsIn total, 424 surveys were completed (response rate 13%, 424/3244). Among the third (31%, 132/424) of breast imaging radiologists with home workstations, top motivations included flexibility/work-life balance (67%; 88/132) and decreased commute time (51%, 67/132). Most felt that working from home improved their efficiency (65%, 86/132). Perceived drawbacks among all breast imaging radiologists included the inability to perform US or physical examination (71%, 300/424) and impaired patient contact (47%, 198/424). Most (57%, 240/424) wished for more breast imaging remote reading opportunities, and one-third (32%, 136/424) saw themselves in a 100% remote reading practice in the future. The majority (60%, 228/388) felt that remote reading would majorly or moderately improve radiologist wellness, but no significant association was found between having home workstations and job satisfaction (P = .301) or burnout (P = .140).
conclusionThe majority of breast imaging radiologists want more opportunities to work remotely, perceiving that it improves work-life balance and efficiency, albeit at the expense of patient contact. However, those currently working from home did not have higher job satisfaction or lower burnout.
