Burnout among postgraduate medical trainees in Lebanon: experiences and prevention strategies.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
Burnout is a common problem that negatively impacts the well-being of postgraduate medical trainees. The study aims to explore trainees' experiences of burnout in different specialties and generate potential strategies for prevention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with trainees at a tertiary medical center. The inclusion criteria included residents and fellows practicing in the medical center irrespective of gender, age, specialty, and year of training. There were 32 residents classified as surgical specialty versus non-surgical specialty. Interview domains revolved around understanding burnout experiences in residency, causes of burnout, and potential strategies for prevention. Work overload was the most cited reason for burnout. Other emergent factors were understaffing, specialty type, faculty members/peers, economic and political problems, and personal factors. The leadership program is recommended to be aware of the early warning signs of burnout. Effective workload assignments with rest intervals and attention to work-life balance, and to self-care could help prevent burnout and promote overall well-being.
