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

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, attending to the mental wellbeing of all doctors was high on the political agenda. The quality of patient care is also known to be related to doctors' wellbeing. Now, in the midst of a global pandemic, doctors are having to cope with ever more trauma and moral injury. Group-based peer support and regular reflective practice are interventions known to reduce clinician burnout and optimise wellbeing. Junior doctors are the most likely of all medical groups to be at a high risk of burnout. The NHS Staff and Learners' Mental Wellbeing Commission report advocates establishing explicit peer support mechanisms and the use of peer support as part of the first line of psychological first aid. Peer support is not addressed in the curriculum for the majority of medical specialties. We recommend that regular peer-support reflective groups are provided during protected time for all trainees.
