Burnout Among ICU and Non-ICU Healthcare Professionals in Saudi Arabia: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Analysis.
Article in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: Burnout syndrome is a significant concern among healthcare workers, particularly in the high-stress environment of ICUs. This study evaluates and compares the levels of burnout among healthcare workers in the ICU and non-ICU settings and to assess the influence of sociodemographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using MBI questionnaire, which measures emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Results: Among 844 participants (51.7% female), most were aged 25-34 (41.9%), single (46.7%), and worked in non-ICU settings (61.8%). They predominantly worked in governmental hospitals, with 1-4 years of experience (46.8%), managing 6-10 patients per shift (36.5%), and working 16-20 shifts monthly (75.8%). ICU staff reported significantly higher EE (21 [18] vs 11.5 [15], Conclusion: ICU healthcare workers experienced significant burnout compared to non-ICUs staff, with nurses and RTs being the most affected. Sociodemographic factors such as marital status, years of experience, shift duration, and holding additional jobs increased burnout risk. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions in high-stress environments like the ICU.
