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

Background: With increasing attention to primary health care across countries worldwide, primary public health workers are being assigned expanding responsibilities, resulting in heightened workloads and psychological strain. This has contributed to widespread burnout and heightened turnover risk. Objective: Guided by the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study aimed to observe turnover intention among primary public health workers and explore the interrelationships between burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 6,725 primary public health workers in the Huaihai Economic Zone in China to assess their levels of burnout, job satisfaction, and turnover intention. One-way ANOVA was used to examine group differences, stepwise multiple linear regression identified influencing factors, and structural equation modeling (AMOS) test the mediating role of job satisfaction. Results: Burnout was negatively associated with job satisfaction ( Conclusion: The study revealed that burnout influences turnover intention both directly and indirectly, with job satisfaction serving as a key psychological pathway. Addressing burnout requires multi-level strategies-enhancing individual motivation, strengthening organizational support, and advancing institutional reforms-to mitigate psychological strain and sustain the stability of the primary public health workforce.
