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/Objectives Occupational burnout is a significant health concern among healthcare professionals, particularly among nurses working in anesthesiology and intensive care units who are exposed to high psychological workload. Previous studies indicate a relationship between burnout and deteriorating mental health; however, the role of individual burnout dimensions in shaping overall mental health remains insufficiently explored.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 842 nurses working in anesthesiology and intensive care units. Occupational burnout was assessed using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), while mental health was evaluated using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). Sociodemographic variables and subjective assessment of work-life balance were also included. Statistical analyses comprised non-parametric tests, Spearman's rank correlation, and multiple regression models.

resultsThe strongest correlations were observed between the exhaustion dimension and the overall GHQ-28 score (rS = 0.539;

conclusionsThe results indicate a significant relationship between occupational burnout and mental health in nurses working in anesthesiology and intensive care units. In particular, exhaustion and work-life balance were identified as important predictors of mental health outcomes.
