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

backgroundBurnout is a growing concern among healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Emerging evidence suggests that sleep quality and spiritual well-being may buffer against burnout and enhance professional fulfilment. This study explores the relationship between sleep disturbance, spiritual well-being, and burnout among HCPs in the UAE. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 661 healthcare professionals across the UAE. Validated instruments were used to measure sleep quality, circadian regularity, spiritual well-being, burnout, and professional fulfilment. Data was analyzed using correlation and regression models to identify predictive factors.

resultsPoor sleep quality and irregular circadian patterns were significantly associated with higher levels of burnout. Conversely, higher spiritual well-being showed a strong negative correlation with burnout and a positive association with professional fulfilment. Multivariate analysis identified sleep regularity and spiritual well-being as significant independent predictors of both burnout and professional fulfilment.

conclusionSleep quality and spiritual well-being play a protective role against burnout and contribute to greater professional fulfilment among healthcare professionals in the UAE. These findings highlight the importance of addressing sleep issues and nurturing spiritual well-being to mitigate burnout and enhance job satisfaction among healthcare professionals, thereby facilitating targeted interventions for improved occupational health and well-being.
