An Internal Perspective: the Psychological Impact of Mistreatment.
Article in Academic psychiatry : the journal of the American Association of Directors of Psychiatric Residency Training and the Association for Academic Psychiatry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesStudent mistreatment remains a prominent issue in medical education. Mistreatment has been linked to negative mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, and burnout. Continued challenges in this arena include difficulties in identifying mistreatment and underreporting. The objective of this study was to better understand the nuances of individual students' reactions to mistreatment.
methodsMedical students, who had experienced mistreatment, were invited to participate in this study. Individual, semi-structured, peer-to-peer interviews were conducted with 21 students. Interview transcriptions were coded using grounded theory and inductive analysis, and themes were extracted.
resultsThe interviews generated 34 unique mistreatment incidents. Four major themes arose in students' reactions to mistreatment. (1) Descriptions-the student described the incident as inappropriate, unusual, or unnecessary. (2) Recognition-most students did not immediately recognize the incident as mistreatment. (3) Emotions-the student described negative emotions (negative self-views, anger, powerlessness, shock, discomfort) associated with the mistreatment incident. (4) Coping mechanisms-the student utilized avoidance and rationalization to process their mistreatment.
conclusionsMistreatment generates complex emotions and coping mechanisms that impair the learning process. These complex emotions and coping mechanisms also make it difficult for trainees to identify mistreatment and to feel safe to report. Increasing understanding of the psychological impact of mistreatment can help peers and educators better screen for mistreatment in trainees and guide them in reporting decisions.
