Mental health trends among medical students.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
Student mental health concerns can manifest in several forms. Medical students juggling a multitude of trials (i.e., intense academic rigor, financial debt, sleep deprivation, lack of control, continual exposure to sickness and death, and training mistreatment) can help explain the higher prevalence of psychological disorders within this population. Furthermore, these mental health difficulties are not static; certain challenges move into the forefront as students face key transition points in schooling. Primary examples include the entry year of medical school, the shift from preclinical curriculum to clinical training, and the final moments prior to beginning residency. Given the existing mental health trends among medical students at baseline, it can be concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the stress, anxiety, and depression associated with medical education. Solutions do indeed exist to address the moral injury medical students face, from expanded crisis management training and implementation of peer support networks to destigmatization of and improved access to professional mental health resources. It is up to the curators of the medical education system to make these solutions the new status quo.
