Burnout Among Pediatric Surgeons of Different Subspecialties Worldwide: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Health services insights, 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 and Objective: Burnout among surgeons has become an increasing concern due to its impact on physician well-being, healthcare quality, and patient safety. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the global prevalence of burnout and examine variations according to burnout assessment tools and surgical subspecialties. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted from inception to November 2025 for studies assessing burnout prevalence among pediatric surgeons and trainees, using validated tools such as the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) or alternatives. Two reviewers independently screened studies, extracted data, and assessed quality using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. A single-arm meta-analysis with a random-effects model was used to calculate pooled prevalence rates, with subgroup analyses based on the assessment tool. Results: Eighteen cross-sectional studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 17 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of burnout was 30% (95% CI: 21%-41%), with high heterogeneity (I Conclusion: Burnout represents a significant issue among pediatric surgeons. These findings highlight the need for a proactive approach to recognize burnout in healthcare professionals and implement effective strategies for its prevention and management.
