New adaptation of neurosurgical practice and residency programs during the Covid-19 pandemic and their effects on neurosurgery resident satisfaction and welfare at the National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionMany institutions in numerous countries have made changes in their health care services during the COVID-19 pandemic. One change has been to reduce elective neurosurgery cases, which has impacted neurosurgery education. Published literature is lacking about the healthcare services, education, and residents' well-being during adaptation to the pandemic, especially in national referral hospitals in developing countries.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study on current neurosurgical services during 2020. We evaluated 34 neurosurgery residents in Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital using a self-made questionnaire to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on their surroundings, education process, and satisfaction with the currently adapted education program. We used the modified Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess burnout in the residents before and during the pandemic.
resultsNeurosurgical residents spent more time studying neurosurgical theory (Mode 1-1.5h/day, p < 0.05) but spent less time learning neurosurgical skills (Mode 30 min-1 h/day, p < 0.05) compared to before the pandemic. The resident satisfaction mean score (scale 0-10) was 7.58 for live surgery and 8.53 for the microsurgical skills lab training program. On a scale of 1-10, the residents' stress level increased after the pandemic but the change was not statistically significant (6.61 ± 1.87, p > 0.05). The Modified Maslach Burnout inventory score was 3.02 ± 3.74 during the pandemic, and increased from before the pandemic (2.41 ± 3.18), but the difference was not statistically significant.
conclusionThe COVID-19 pandemics have reduced the working hours and the clinical exposure of neurosurgical residents. Fortunately, this pandemic has led to a new opportunity to find many suitable learning methods which may decrease the risk of burnout. The psychological burden of residents is still worrisome, and planned management is necessary to sustain resident performance.
