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
Burnout represents a critical occupational health issue within the maritime sector, where demanding work schedules, prolonged periods at sea, and safety-critical responsibilities expose seafarers to significant psychological strain. This study investigates how burnout influences safety behaviors among maritime workers, adopting a multilevel framework that incorporates work engagement, quality of life, and work-family conflict as key factors shaping this relationship. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 216 seafarers distributed across 36 commercial vessels, representing a diverse range of onboard roles and operational contexts. The multilevel design allows for simultaneous examination of individual-level experiences and ship-level dynamics, offering a more nuanced understanding of how psychosocial risks translate into safety-relevant outcomes in maritime environments. Data were analyzed using multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM), including multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (ML-CFA) and multilevel path analysis, implemented in Mplus version 8.10. The findings reveal that burnout undermines seafarers' safe behaviors through diminished work engagement and a worsened quality of life. Furthermore, high levels of interference between work and family life amplify the negative effect of burnout on safe behaviors. This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on maritime behavioral health and provides implications for strengthening safety culture and crew well-being in the global shipping industry.
