Harnessing the Neurobiology of Empathy and Compassion to Alleviate Burnout in Neurology.
Review in Annals of neurology, 2026. 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
Neurologists regularly care for patients with complex, chronic, and often incurable conditions. These circumstances impose profound emotional burdens on the patient and physician. Whereas empathy is central to therapeutic effectiveness in clinical practice, sustained empathic engagement can contribute to emotional exhaustion and physician burnout, a condition now endemic in neurology. This review synthesizes insights from neuroscience, psychology, and clinical education to propose "skillful empathy" as a trainable capacity that integrates affective resonance with cognitive perspective-taking. We describe how emotional contagion harms clinician well-being and advocate for the integration of empathy training into medical education to support sustainable, compassionate neurological care.
