Stress and Wellbeing of Psychiatry Trainees: A Literature Review.
Review in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Medical training in Australia has been clouded in recent times by media reporting on the tragic suicides of multiple trainees. This has brought attention to the stressful demands of the medical profession and the often-poor wellbeing of trainees, who must balance both study and work demands. Psychiatry trainees in particular face unique stressors in the workplace, being in a profession that carries a high emotional burden. Psychiatry trainees encounter suicides by patients and colleagues at an alarmingly high rate and commonly experience isolation, unrealistic workloads and stigma towards their chosen specialty. This literature review will highlight the extent to which these factors impact on psychiatry trainees. We will also explore the factors that contribute to their wellbeing, including the role of supervision, as well as leisurely and social activities. This review will look at the availability of these supports to psychiatry trainees and whether their lifestyles allow them time to spend on these activities. Though it is impossible to remove all stressors from psychiatry, interventions to improve trainee wellbeing must consider factors that improve resilience and support as well as target change to the culture in medicine that currently promotes stress and overwork. It must be recognised that trainees who feel supported and mentally well will perform better in the workplace in the long run, and, in this review, we will speculate about how workplace changes that are occurring for psychiatry trainees in Victoria, Australia, may affect their wellbeing.
