Introduction to the Wellness Mini-series. Burnout, Disengagement, and Other Psychological Quagmires: It's Not All in Your Head.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Surgery is a state of mind. The brain controls the hands. As a result, "technical skills" are more mental than technical. In fact, physician burnout and poor well-being are independent predictors of major medical errors. Part of becoming a better surgeon is caring for one's mind, and making sure one's brain is healthy and happy. Therefore, the reader of this mini-series should read every article with the perspective that it can (and will) make them a better physician and surgeon. In this mini-series, 45 unique authors and 2 expert discussants compiled a comprehensive, evidence-based resource on physician wellness, including topics such as wellness during residency, oral board examination and every other career stage, the interface between work life and home life, physical well-being, self-awareness, mindfulness, mentorship, and dealing with aging parents and microaggressions. This mini-series truly covers the entire spectrum of physician wellness. In this article, I will provide a brief introduction to some important concepts, and the subsequent articles in the mini-series will go into much more practical detail.
