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

Background: Occupational burnout is a growing concern in healthcare, which affects professionals across various disciplines. Radiographers working in non-traditional practice settings may face unique stressors that contribute to burnout, yet this population remains understudied, particularly in the Philippines. Objectives: This study aimed to (1) assess and compare burnout levels among Filipino radiographers in non-traditional roles, (2) investigate the relationship between demographic variables and burnout, and (3) assess burnout severity by imaging role. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative survey design was employed. Participants (n = 188) completed an online survey including demographic questions and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23. Non-parametric tests were used to assess relationships between demographic variables and MBI scores. Results: Significant differences in burnout scores were found across imaging roles (p = .000). Mobile imaging professionals reported the highest emotional exhaustion (M = 48.4, SD = 4.7) and depersonalization (M = 21.5, SD = 4.7), and the lowest personal accomplishment (M = 18.1, SD = 7.2). Forensic imaging professionals reported the lowest overall burnout (M = 58.9, SD = 13.8) and depersonalization (M = 7.7, SD = 4.3), and the highest personal accomplishment (M = 29.4, SD = 8.3). Sex differences were observed for depersonalization (p = .045), with males scoring higher. Participants with graduate degrees reported lower personal accomplishment (p = .036). Severe burnout was the dominant category, especially in mobile, military, and veterinary imaging. Conclusion: Burnout levels vary significantly among Filipino radiographers in non-traditional roles, with mobile imaging professionals at particularly high risk. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to mitigate burnout and promote well-being in this population.
