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

Introduction: As a core pillar in China's public health system, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) face significant workforce turnover. Using data from a certain province in China, our study addresses two gaps: the structural relationships and the combined effect on CDC turnover of salary, job satisfaction, and burnout, and, second, the inter-relationship of marital status and these factors. Methods: From March to April 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in the study province of China among CDC staff, collecting data on salary, job satisfaction, burnout, turnover intention, and sociodemographic information. Chained mediation models analyzed the multiple mediating effects of job satisfaction and burnout between salary and turnover intention. Results: Lower salary was directly associated with higher turnover intention (β = -0.059, Discussion: Job satisfaction and burnout served as chained mediators between salaries and turnover intentions, with job satisfaction exerting an additional independent mediating effect. Internal heterogeneity was revealed within the marriage subgroups. Interventions should prioritize reviewing and improving the compensation system, enhancing job satisfaction, reducing burnout, and implementing differentiated measures to reduce workforce turnover.
