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

Burnout is an occupation-related syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment (PA) at work. The healthcare profession is an exhausting job that involves individual health and mental well-being. The aim is to determine the prevalence and severity of burnout syndrome among Libyan physicians. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted from March to September 2023, recruiting 731 physicians from both public and private sectors, encompassing various specialties and subspecialties. Upon agreeing to participate, physicians were assessed in two sections. Section One included socio-demographic characteristics. In section two, burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). In our study, 731 physicians from various health facilities participated. The average age was 36.76 years (±7.23). The Sex distribution was 38.9% male and 61.1% female. More than half of the physicians were married (60.7%). The average income was 1,672 LD (approximately US$344.74) with a standard deviation of 2177.19 LD. The mean number of vacation days taken annually was 16.85 days (±26.03). Among the three dimensions, 47.1% of the physicians reported a high score of burnout for EE, 86.3% for depersonalization, and 18.6% for personal achievement. Age, marital status, specialty, and place of work were significant risk factors for burnout in three dimensions; EE, DP, and PA (
