Unmasking burnout among pediatric residents in eastern China: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundBurnout among pediatricians has emerged as a significant public health concern in China. This study aims to explore the current state of professional burnout and identify potential solutions by capturing the perspectives of pediatric residents.
methodsA qualitative study was conducted in June 2024 at a children's hospital in eastern China. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were carried out, audio-recorded, and transcribed, followed by thematic analysis.
resultsTwenty pediatric residents participated in the study. Thematic analysis revealed six external factors contributing to burnout: workload, work efficiency, doctor-patient communication, education and research, basic needs, and interpersonal dynamics. Additionally, five internal manifestations of burnout were identified: reduced personal accomplishment, cynicism, emotional exhaustion, health crises, and intent to quit. Potential solutions were also discussed.
conclusionsPediatricians reported substantial experiences of professional burnout. This study highlights the contributing factors and manifestations of burnout among pediatric residents. To address this issue, it is imperative for the government and the public to optimize the standardized residency training system and foster a supportive environment, thereby improving the well-being of pediatricians.
