Prevalence of depression and anxiety in orthopedic residents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis 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 4 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
backgroundOrthopedics is one of the specialized fields of medicine and its residency has always been of interest. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the prevalence of depression and anxiety among orthopedic residents.
methodsDigital databases such as PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were systematically searched until July 27, 2024.
resultsThe analysis included a total of 10 studies for anxiety (1,758 cases, 374 anxiety cases) and depression (2,389 cases, 381 depression cases). The pooled prevalence of anxiety was 31.6% [95% CI: 18.04-45.26%] with significant publication bias (Egger's test p = 0.0257). After removing a potential outlier, the prevalence of anxiety was recalculated as 25% [95% CI: 16.61-34.01%]. The pooled prevalence of depression was 22.2% [95% CI: 12.08-32.51%] with significant publication bias (Egger's test p = 0.0434). After removing a potential outlier, the prevalence of depression was recalculated as 18.6% [95% CI: 10.27-26.92%], showing no significant publication bias (Egger's test p = 0.1229).
conclusionDepression and anxiety are highly prevalent among orthopedic residents, with significant levels of psychological distress affecting nearly one-third of this population.
