Burnout and career satisfaction in neurology.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Neurology ranks among specialties with the highest burnout rates, yet little is known about neurologists' subjective experiences. We aimed to assess burnout, career satisfaction and associated factors among Lithuanian neurologists, as well as their views on the field's future. Methods: From June 2024 to March 2025, we conducted a cross-sectional anonymous survey of Lithuanian neurologists. The questionnaire assessed career satisfaction, work-rest balance, and perspectives on neurology. Burnout was measured using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Stepwise linear regression identified associated factors. Results: Responses were obtained from 111 neurologists (73.0% female; mean age 53.2 ± 12.8 years; mean practice 26.0 ± 14.0 years). Personal, work-related and patient-related symptoms of burnout were present at least sometimes in 44.1%, 30.6%, and 27.0% of respondents, respectively, and commonly linked to insufficient personal time, inadequate leisure, and poor sleep. Regression analyses ( Conclusion: Despite high career satisfaction and optimism regarding therapeutic progress, symptoms of burnout are prevalent among Lithuanian neurologists, driven by suboptimal work-rest balance and systemic limitations. These findings emphasize the need for organizational and policy measures to support physician wellbeing and strengthen healthcare efficiency.
