Interventions to reduce occupational burnout in general practitioners: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.
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: General practitioners (GPs) are at high risk of burnout, which threatens physicians' mental health, care quality, and the sustainability of primary health care systems. Although a growing number of interventions have been developed to prevent or reduce burnout among GPs, their effectiveness and the mechanisms through which they work remain unclear. Methods: We will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions aimed at preventing or reducing burnout in GPs, following the Cochrane Handbook and the PRISMA 2020 statement. Randomized controlled trials, cluster-randomized trials, and non-randomized controlled studies evaluating individual-, group-, organisational-, or system-level interventions will be eligible. We will search PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science Core Collection, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP (Weipu) and other databases from inception, without language restrictions. Two reviewers will independently screen studies, extract data and assess risk of bias using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (RoB 2) and the ROBINS-I tool. Where appropriate, we will pool effect sizes for overall burnout and its dimensions using random-effects models, and explore heterogeneity and subgroup effects based on the job demands-resources model. When meta-analysis is not feasible, we will provide a narrative synthesis. Certainty of the evidence will be assessed with GRADE. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO, Identifier CRD420251064119.
