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 has been exacerbated by post-pandemic woes, and research has examined burnout drivers; however, limited attention has been given to how values alignment with leadership, organizational constraints, psychological safety, and supervisor support simultaneously shape burnout outcomes. This study aimed to identify workplace factors most strongly associated with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment to inform leadership strategies for improving clinician well-being. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional survey of 338 employees across 12 primary care clinics in a healthcare system in Portland, Oregon, from January to August 2023 (response rate: 63.5%). Eligible respondents included clinicians and support staff. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS). Independent variables included organizational constraints, values alignment with leadership, psychological safety, and two forms of supervisor support (general support and family-supportive supervisor behaviors [FSSB]). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to examine the simultaneous relationships between workplace factors and burnout dimensions, while controlling for demographic and occupational characteristics. Results: Lower values alignment with leaders was the strongest predictor of emotional exhaustion (β = -0.15, p < 0.001). Organizational constraints were associated with both emotional exhaustion (β = 0.08, p < 0.001) and depersonalization (β = 0.05, p < 0.001). Lower psychological safety was also linked to greater emotional exhaustion (β = -0.04, p < 0.001). For personal accomplishment, higher values alignment (β = 0.10, p < 0.05) and fewer organizational constraints (β = -0.03, p < 0.001) were positive predictors. General supervisor support was associated with greater personal accomplishment, while higher FSSB was unexpectedly associated with lower accomplishment (β = -0.06, p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of aligning values with leadership and promoting psychological safety as crucial levers for mitigating emotional exhaustion. Although general supervisor support enhances personal accomplishment, the negative association with FSSB suggests more complex supervisory dynamics.
