Associations between workplace social capital, well-being, and work engagement in medical residents: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundWorkplace social capital (WSC), a social resource available within work or occupational environments, has been identified as an important factor for employees' health in fields other than medical education. However, little is known about whether WSC is associated with well-being and work engagement among medical residents. The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between WSC, well-being, and work engagement specifically among medical residents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at 32 hospitals in Japan, assessing WSC with the Japanese medical resident version of the Workplace Social Capital (JMR-WSC) scale. Well-being and work engagement were measured as the primary and secondary outcomes using the Subjective Well-Being Scale and the Japanese version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale.
resultsWe analyzed data from 276 residents. Adjusting for possible confounders, the JMR-WSC Scale scores were associated with well-being in a dose-dependent manner (adjusted mean difference 6.55, 95% CI 4.96-8.15 for the WSC highest score quartile, compared with the lowest score quartile). The WSC Scale scores demonstrated a dose-dependent association with work engagement (adjusted mean difference 15.12, 95% CI 11.66-18.57 for the WSC highest score quartile, compared with the lowest score quartile).
conclusionsThis study showed that WSC was linked to enhanced well-being and work engagement among residents. Our findings offer insights for developing interventions to prevent resident burnout and create an environment conducive to residents' well-being and engagement.
