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

Introduction: This study aims to explore the mediating role of burnout in the relationship between job satisfaction and safety behavior among air traffic controllers (ATCs), and to identify the most influential factor affecting ATCs' safety behavior using a decision tree model. Methods: Data were collected from 357 ATCs using established questionnaires measuring job satisfaction, burnout, and safety behavior. Bootstrap analysis was employed to examine the mediating effect of burnout, and a decision tree model was applied to determine the key factors influencing safety behavior. Results: The bootstrap analysis revealed that burnout partially mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and safety behavior, accounting for 40% of the total effect. The decision tree model identified burnout as the primary predictor of safety behavior, followed by job satisfaction and other factors. Discussion: These findings underscore the critical role of burnout in influencing ATCs' safety performance. Enhancing safety behavior should prioritize targeted interventions to reduce burnout, in addition to addressing job satisfaction and other contributing factors.
