Burnout and Work Engagement among Otorhinolaryngologists in Türkiye: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 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
Objective: Burnout and reduced work engagement are recognized occupational concerns among physicians; however, specialty-specific data on otorhinolaryngology (ORL) practice in Türkiye are limited. This multicenter study evaluated burnout and work engagement among otorhinolaryngologists and examined their associations with sociodemographic characteristics and institutional settings. Methods: This cross-sectional online survey included 120 otorhinolaryngologists working in different cities and institutional settings across Türkiye, including tertiary city hospitals, university hospitals, training and research hospitals, state hospitals, and private clinics. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), comprising the emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA) subscales. Work engagement was assessed using the nine-item Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Multivariable median regression analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with the study outcomes. Results: Based on the predefined MBI thresholds, 65.8% of participants scored within the high range for EE, and 41.7% scored within the high ranges for both EE and DP. Female participants had higher EE and DP scores than male participants (both p≤0.001). Increasing age was associated with lower DP and higher PA scores. In the unadjusted analyses, physicians working in city hospitals had higher DP scores than those working in university hospitals (p=0.016). In the multivariable median regression analyses, female sex was the only factor independently associated with higher EE (p<0.001) and DP (p=0.034) scores. The total UWES-9 score was negatively correlated with EE and DP and positively correlated with PA (all p<0.001). Conclusion: Burnout-related dimensions, particularly EE and DP, were frequently observed among otorhinolaryngologists in Türkiye. Female sex was independently associated with higher EE and DP scores. These findings highlight the need to monitor occupational well-being among ORL physicians and may inform the development of institution-level initiatives aimed at improving workplace support and organization.
