Impact of different anesthesia subspecialties on anxiety levels and sleep quality among anesthesiologists: a cross-sectional study.

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: Anesthesiologists face high risks of occupational burnout, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Significant subspecialization within the field suggests different specialties may constitute distinct stressors, but whether this leads to systematic variations in mental health outcomes remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between different anesthesia subspecialties and the levels of anxiety, depression, and sleep quality among anesthesiologists. Methods: A multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted. Eighty-five anesthesiologists from four tertiary Grade A general hospitals completed the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires. Retrospective work data were extracted from departmental systems. Statistical analyses included one-way ANOVA, Tukey's Honest Significant Difference (HSD) Results: Significant differences were found in GAD-7 ( Conclusion: The anesthesia subspecialties in which an anesthesiologist works is independently associated with the risk of anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. These findings suggest that targeted support strategies should be considered for anesthesiologists in high-stress subspecialties such as cardiothoracic and pediatric anesthesia.
