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
IntroductionPrehospital emergency medical services play a critical role in caring for patients with urgent medical needs. However, the time-pressured and unpredictable nature of this work places substantial stress on emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Over time, such stress may lead to job dissatisfaction and turnover intentions, ultimately undermining the quality of prehospital emergency care and adversely affecting both patient outcomes and EMTs' physical and psychological well-being. Accordingly, this study aimed to: (1) examine the effects of job engagement on burnout among EMTs; (2) analyze the effects of burnout on EMTs' job satisfaction; and (3) investigate whether the effects of burnout on job satisfaction differs by age, gender, education, marital status, EMT certification level, and work experience.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, convenience sampling was used to collect data from 300 EMTs, which were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling.ResultsThe results reveal that job engagement has significant negative effects on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and a significant positive effect on personal accomplishment. Emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment, in turn, have significant negative and positive effects on job satisfaction, respectively, whereas depersonalization has no significant effect on job satisfaction. Gender and EMT certification level were demonstrated to moderate the effect of emotional exhaustion on job satisfaction.ConclusionBased on these findings, health authorities should closely monitor EMTs' workload, particularly among male EMTs and those holding advanced EMT certification. Fostering a sense of accomplishment derived from emergency medical work may help mitigate burnout and sustain prehospital emergency care capacity.
