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

Introduction: A paramedic is one of the most mentally demanding professions, requiring responsibility for the health and lives of patients, quick decision-making, and contact with suffering and death. Due to the unpredictable nature of their line of work, this professional group faces high levels of stress. Identifying protective factors, such as personal resources, self-efficacy, and commitment to work, helps better understand the mechanisms of coping in difficult situations and enables corrective and preventive measures to be taken. The aim of the study is to identify and analyse in detail occupational stress among emergency medical service workers, in relation to respondents' psychological resources, work engagement, sense of self-efficacy, and strategies for coping with difficult situations. Research methodology: The survey, delivered online via Google between May and September 2025, targeted paramedics and nurses working at the Provincial Ambulance Service in Białystok (north-eastern Poland). A diagnostic survey method was used, employing a proprietary questionnaire and standardised tools such as the Resilience Measurement Scale (SPP-25), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Inventory for Measuring Coping with Stress (Mini-COPE). Results: The mean age of the respondents ( Conclusion: The respondents were characterised by moderate to high perceived work stress, low psychological resilience, and moderate work engagement and self-efficacy. Dominant coping strategies included emotion-focused, problem-focused, and adaptive strategies. Older individuals with longer work experience had lower levels of psychological resources. Respondents differed by gender in terms of their psychological resources and work engagement.
