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
Objective: To assess the work-related quality of life (WRQoL) of anesthesiologists and various health issues that may have an impact on it. Patients and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, anonymous electronic survey of active American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) members to evaluate sex-specific health conditions and WRQoL. The WRQoL included validated domains of job satisfaction, stress at work, home-work interface, control at work, and working conditions, along with demographic and professional characteristics. Descriptive statistics and multivariable analyses were used to identify factors independently associated with lower WRQoL scores. Results: The survey was distributed to approximately 37,000 ASA members from September 2024 to December 2024, yielding 2292 responses. About 45.9% of respondents were women, slightly overrepresenting female anesthesiologists compared with the ASA population. Occupational and psychosocial exposures were common: 78.8% reported lifetime exposure to occupational hazards, 49.7% to harassment, and 74.6% to burnout, all of which significantly correlated with lower WRQoL ( Conclusion: This national survey represents the first large-scale assessment of WRQoL among US anesthesiologists. Findings highlight the multidimensional nature of professional well-being and underscore the importance of organizational culture, workload management, and targeted strategies to support high-risk subgroups. Addressing these factors may improve workforce sustainability.
