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
backgroundJob burnout and emotional intelligence are critical issues in healthcare organizations, as they directly affect employee performance, quality of care, and patient safety. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job burnout and emotional intelligence among employees of teaching hospitals affiliated with Abadan University of Medical Sciences in 2024.
methodsThis cross-sectional analytical study was conducted among 325 employees working in teaching hospitals in southwest Khuzestan Province. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires assessing job burnout and emotional intelligence through a mixed and convenience sampling approach. Descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and univariate linear regression analyses were performed using SPSS version 27.
resultsThe majority of participants were female (74.5%), held a bachelor's degree or higher (83.4%), and were employed in clinical departments (80.9%). Job burnout levels were moderate in 69.8% and high in 30.2% of participants. Emotional intelligence and its domains were significantly higher than the median values. Emotional intelligence demonstrated a significant inverse association with job burnout, such that each one-unit increase in emotional intelligence was associated with a 0.12-unit decrease in job burnout.
conclusionTo enhance emotional intelligence and reduce job burnout, it is necessary for managers and policymakers in the health system, especially in underprivileged areas, to take the necessary measures, particularly by providing welfare facilities and strengthening both process and outcome motivation, especially the impact on hospital accreditation, for hospital staff.
