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

Background: Job burnout is a systemic challenge in healthcare, and dental nurses facing unique occupational stressors that linked to higher burnout symptom levels. Despite the growing recognition of burnout as a public health concern in health care workers, previous studies have paid relatively little attention to dental nurses. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current status of job burnout among dental nurses and identify its associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from September to October 2024, enrolling 261 dental nurses from a stomatological hospital in Yunnnan provinces of China. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), Nurse Job Stressor Scale (NJSS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Nurse's Career Identity Scale (NCIS), Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and a self-designed general information sheet. A logistic regression model was constructed to analyse the associated factors correlated with job burnout. Results: The median score of job burnout was 38.67 (21.33-56.00), and the overall burnout prevalence was 33.7%. The results of logistic regression showed that depression [odds ratio (OR) = 1.117; 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.060, 1.177); Conclusion: This study explores job burnout in dental nurses and confirms depression and occupational stress as its associated factors. Attention to dental nurses' mental health and targeted interventions are critical to alleviating burnout and improving nursing quality.
