Burnout among healthcare workers in Lebanon: a multicentred cross-sectional study.
Article in BMJ 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: Burnout among healthcare workers (HCWs) is a growing concern as it has reached global levels. Despite the various crises that have afflicted Lebanon since 2020, there is a shortage of recent data regarding burnout among HCWs in the country. Aims: This study assessed burnout levels and financial well-being among HCWs in Lebanon and identified associated risk factors. Methods: This is a cross-sectional multicentre study conducted in Lebanon. It included 907 HCWs, comprising medical students, registered nurses, physicians and postgraduate trainees. Burnout was measured using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and financial distress using the Incharge Financial Distress/Financial Well-being scale. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify associated factors. Results: 69.2% of HCWs were at moderate/high risk of burnout, with 76% susceptible to personal burnout, 73% to work-related burnout and 56% to patient-related burnout. Factors reducing burnout risk included age over 50, better financial well-being, higher income and being a person who has never smoked or a former infrequent alcohol consumer. Higher burnout risk was linked to widowhood, public sector employment, long work hours, stressful workplaces, migration intent, psychiatric history and current alcohol consumption. Conclusion: Burnout risk among HCWs in Lebanon is high, necessitating urgent measures from the public health authorities to improve HCWs' mental well-being.
