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

Purpose: Learner distress is a huge problem in medicine today, and medical institutions have been called upon to help solve this issue. Unfortunately, the majority have responded not by addressing the system and culture that have long plagued the profession, but by creating individual-focused "wellness" interventions (IFWs). As a result, medical learners are routinely being forced to undergo training on resilience, mindfulness, and burnout. Approach: Grounded in well-supported theory and empirical evidence, my central argument in this commentary is that IFWs are inappropriate, insulting, and psychologically harmful to learners, and that they need to stop. Contribution: Extending prior work in this area, I first present three fundamental problems with IFWs. I then recommend a paradigm shift in how we are approaching "wellness" in medical education. Conclusion: Finally, I provide an evidence-based roadmap, in self-determination theory, for how system-level improvements could be made in a timely, sustainable, and socially responsible way, that would benefit everyone in medicine-from leaders, to educators, to learners, to patients.
