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

(1) Background: Prehospital emergency workers frequently experience workplace violence and trauma, raising their risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and burnout, yet their link to quiet quitting remains poorly understood. We tested whether the PTSD-quiet quitting association is statistically patterned through perceived occupational stress and emotional exhaustion. (2) Methods: In a cross-sectional online survey, prehospital emergency professionals in Türkiye who reported workplace violence within the previous six months completed the PTSD-Short Scale, Perceived Occupational Stress Scale, Job-Related Emotional Exhaustion Scale, and Quiet Quitting Scale. Serial mediation was tested with PROCESS Model 6 (5000 bootstrap resamples), with an age- and gender-adjusted sensitivity analysis, and reporting followed the STROBE checklist. (3) Results: Of 327 respondents, 305 were analysed. PTSD symptoms were associated with quiet quitting (β = 0.460,
