1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To examine the impact of work-family conflict on occupational burnout among pilots following the COVID-19 pandemic, this study employed the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and the Zhao Xinyuan Bi-directional Scale of Work-Family Conflict as research instruments. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore the relationship between work-family conflict and burnout. The results indicate a significant correlation between work-family conflict and burnout, as well as the three dimensions of burnout. Specifically, the correlation coefficients between work interfering with family (WIF) and family interfering with work (FIW) with occupational burnout were found to be 0.737 and 0.496, respectively. In the path analysis of the SEM, the estimated effects of WIF and FIW on burnout were both 0.49. Mediation analysis revealed that WIF indirectly influences burnout through FIW, with a mediation effect value of 0.117. Additionally, while pilot-related factors did not significantly affect burnout, they were found to have a notable impact on work-family conflict. These findings underscore the significant role of work-family conflict in contributing to burnout and provide a theoretical foundation for targeted interventions aimed at mitigating burnout among pilots.
