Burnout and workload among hematologists in the Community of Madrid (Spain): a survey based on the Copenhagen burnout inventory.
Observational study in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Burnout is highly prevalent among hematologists, with rates reported ranging from 40 to 50%, driven by the unique combination of high clinical complexity, frequent exposure to life-threatening conditions, and the rapid evolution of therapeutic strategies. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of burnout among hematologists working in the Community of Madrid, and to examine its impact on their professional performance and personal and social well-being. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study based on an online self-administered survey. Hematologists across all professional settings were invited to participate by completing the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Overall CBI scores and subscale scores (personal, work-related, and patient-related burnout) were calculated. Subgroup analyses were performed according to demographic and professional variables. Results: Forty percent (129/320) of the invited hematologists participated in the survey. Respondents reported significant symptoms of exhaustion and an increased risk of burnout, particularly in the work-related domain. Sixty percent of the respondents often or always experienced fatigue, and 23% frequently felt they "cannot take it anymore." Eighty-four percent reported that work was emotionally exhausting at least sometimes, and 39% frequently ended the workday exhausted. In addition, 55% reported having little energy for family and friends. Patient-related burnout was generally moderate, yet over half strongly agreed that working with patients is hard. Physical or verbal aggression increased from 23 to 30% between 2023 and 2024 ( Conclusion: Hematologists in the Community of Madrid reported relevant symptoms of exhaustion across all dimensions assessed. Workload was the factor most frequently cited by respondents as contributing to burnout. These findings underscore the need for organizational interventions to reduce workload and protect work-life balance.
