Article in PloS one, 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
aimJob burnout is one of the emerging challenges in the healthcare sector which caused various issues among the primary healthcare providers. Hence, the present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of burnout among the healthcare workers working in the primary healthcare clinics situated in the Alkhobar, Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia.
methodsThe study was also aimed to evaluate the associated factors related to the burnout. This cross-sectional study included 114 healthcare providers working in the different primary health care centers. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to evaluate the burnout among the respondents.
resultsThe other questions were included the demographics and clinical factors. It was found that the prevalence of the burnout was 21.1%. Emotional exhaustion was found significantly high among females compared to males and those who had monthly income less than 12K compared to those with more than 12K monthly income. Daily patient load was another factor causing emotional exhaustion among the respondents.
conclusionIn conclusion, the feeling of depersonalization among the participants was found to be very high followed by emotional exhaustion. The identification of the contributing factors would help to reduce the prevalence. Some of those factors were socio-demographic related and some were related to work.
