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

backgroundBurnout among emergency healthcare providers, including physicians, nurses, and paramedics, is a growing global concern, particularly in developing countries where prevalence rates can reach 70%-80%. Burnout negatively impacts healthcare systems and patient outcomes. However, limited studies compare burnout rates across these professions or focus on the Middle Eastern context, including Jordan. This study aims to assess burnout prevalence among emergency physicians, nurses, and paramedics in Jordan and identify associated demographic and work-related factors.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using a paper-based, self-administered questionnaire incorporating the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Participants were drawn from emergency departments in 15 hospitals and 13 ambulance stations. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 25, employing descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and logistic regression to identify burnout predictors.

resultsA total of 560 participants completed the survey (response rate: 70%). The prevalence rates for personal, work-related, and patient-related burnout were 83.7%, 79.2%, and 64.0%, respectively, with overall high burnout rates (75.6%). Sleep deprivation (p ≤ 0.002), poor supervisor relationships (p ≤ 0.01), and attempts to change workplaces (p ≤ 0.03) were associated with all burnout dimensions. Female participants and those with one to three children showed higher burnout odds (p = 0.004, p = 0.045, respectively). No significant differences in burnout rates were observed among professions.

conclusionsThis study highlights alarmingly high burnout prevalence rates among emergency healthcare providers in Jordan, stressing the need for tailored strategies to mitigate burnout and improve the resilience of the healthcare system. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of systemic factors and post-COVID-19 dynamics.
