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

backgroundAmong medical residents, suicide is the second most prevalent cause of mortality. In Iran, the suicide of medical residents has become one of the most important challenges. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of psychological distress in the relationship between perfectionism and suicidal ideation among medical residents in Iran.

methodsThis research was a descriptive-correlational study based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present research included all the residents in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU) in 2023, of whom 277 people were selected as a sample using the available sampling method. The Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI-1997), the Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (TMPS-2007) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21-1995) were used to collect the data. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling with SPSS and Amos software version 22.

resultsOut of 277 participants, 30% (N = 83) were male and 70% (N = 194) were female. The findings showed that the research model had goodness of fit. There was a significant relationship between perfectionism and psychological distress (β = 0.76, P < 0/001) and between psychological distress and suicidal thoughts (β = 0.66, P < 0/001). However, there was no direct relationship between perfectionism and suicidal ideation (P > 0.01), but perfectionism played a role in residents' suicidal ideation through psychological distress (β = 0.50, P < 0/001). In other words, perfectionism led to suicidal ideation by increasing the psychological distress of the residents. In addition, perfectionism and psychological distress were able to explain 42% of the variances of suicidal ideation (R

conclusionThe results highlighted the crucial role of psychological distress in suicidal ideation of medical residents. Accordingly, substantial support from health-sector managers and policymakers is essential to meet the requirements of medical residents.
