Attitude towards migration of psychiatric trainees and early career psychiatrists in Iran.
Article in BMC medical education, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionMigration of medical professionals has been rapidly increasing in the past decades and it strongly affects origin and destination countries.
objectivesWe aimed to explore the extent and the reasons of migration among psychiatric trainees and early career psychiatrists in Iran.
methodsOur semi-structured 61-items questionnaire inquired participants' demographics, experiences of short-term mobility (from 3 months to 1 year), long-term migration (more than 1 year) and attitudes towards migration (current and future plans).
resultsA total of 184 responses were received. Most (73.4 %) participants were female, and within the age range of 25-65 (Mean: 34.9). Only 15.2 % had a short-term mobility experience, mostly due to academic reasons (35.7 %). Most (75 %) stated that this short-term mobility experience influenced them in favor of migration. The majority (83.7 %) had 'ever' considered leaving Iran, and more than half (57.3 %) stated they 'strongly agree' or 'agree' to leaving the country 'now' (at the time of the study). The main reason to migrate from Iran was first political, followed by work, financial, social, religious, academic, and cultural reasons, and the least ranked were personal reasons. In relation to their 5-year plans, 67.3 % saw themselves in the country they currently live in, Iran. The main features reported for an attractive job were 'pleasant work environment' (97.3 %), 'good welfare and social security' (96.7 %) and 'high salary '(96.2 %).
conclusionsThis study calls for more support of psychiatric trainees and early career psychiatrists in Iran. Improvements in the political context, work conditions and finances might lower the rate of migratory intention and brain drain.
