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

backgroundMultiple studies indicate that residents in family medicine (FM) are exposed to considerable stress and are particularly affected by burnout syndrome. Aim of the study was to specify the effects of a so-called "compact intervention" (i.e., a short intervention) in self-care on FM residents.

methodsThe authors performed a concurrent and independent mixed-methods study with FM residents on the KWBW Verbundweiterbildung

resultsFrom a total of n = 307 residents, n = 287 FM residents (intervention group: n = 212; control group: n = 75) participated in the study. At T2, 111 post-intervention questionnaires were completed. 56% rated the intervention to be helpful for their well-being (n = 63/111). At T2, there was a significant increase in those willing to act in comparison to T1 (p = .01): 36% (n = 40/111) had changed their behavior and half of the study participants had passed on competencies to others (n = 56/111). From the intervention group, n = 17 participants additionally gave an interview. FM residents favored a trustful learning atmosphere, an interactive teaching concept and practical exercises. They described an encouraging stimulus to act and specified behavioral changes.

conclusionsA compact intervention in self-care could increase well-being, foster competencies and induce behavioral changes, if implemented into a training program with sufficient group cohesiveness. Further studies are required to specify long-term-results.
