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
Purpose: The hospitalist system, formally adopted in South Korea in 2021 after a pilot program in 2016, has been associated with improvements in inpatient care outcomes and patient satisfaction. However, a persistent shortage of hospitalists- recently worsened by increasing demands on inpatient care-has raised concerns regarding workforce stability. This study aimed to compare job satisfaction and its determinants between medical and surgical hospitalists in South Korea. Methods: A nationwide cross-sectional online survey was conducted in February 2024 among 389 board-certified hospitalists registered with the Korean Society of Hospital Medicine and the Korean Society of Surgical Hospital Medicine. The survey included questions on demographics, work environment, job satisfaction (monetary and nonmonetary), and career intentions. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U-tests, and multiple linear regression. Results: A total of 94 hospitalists responded (67 medical and 27 surgical). Surgical hospitalists reported significantly longer weekly working hours (47.9 hours Conclusion: Surgical hospitalists experienced higher workloads but maintained comparable satisfaction levels to their medical counterparts. Enhancing academic opportunities and tailoring financial incentives may be effective strategies to improve job satisfaction and support workforce retention across specialties.
