Prevalence and factors associated with burnout syndrome among anesthesiology residents in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
Article in Brazilian journal of anesthesiology (Elsevier). 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
backgroundBurnout syndrome is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. Anesthesiology residents are particularly vulnerable due to prolonged working hours, cognitive overload, and exposure to stressful clinical situations. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of burnout and explore associated occupational and psychosocial factors among anesthesiology residents in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
methodsThis multicenter cross-sectional study included residents from 6 training centers accredited by the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology. Data were collected using an anonymous online questionnaire and the Portuguese-validated Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). Burnout was defined by high emotional exhaustion (≥ 25), high depersonalization (≥ 10), and low personal accomplishment (≤ 32). Associations were analyzed using Fisher's exact test (p < 0.05).
resultsNinety-two residents participated (response rate, 84.4%). The overall prevalence of burnout was 26.1% (95% CI 17.5%-36.3%). High emotional exhaustion occurred in 72.8%, depersonalization in 42.4%, and low personal accomplishment in 43.5%. Burnout was significantly associated with living alone (p = 0.036) and psychotropic medication use (p = 0.017). A weekly workload of 60 hours or more (p = 0.068) was not significantly associated with burnout. Female residents showed higher emotional exhaustion (p = 0.039).
conclusionBurnout prevalence among anesthesiology residents in Rio Grande do Sul was high, predominantly characterized by emotional exhaustion. Institutional strategies focusing on psychosocial support, workload management, and mental health promotion may improve residents' well-being and professional performance.
