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

BackgroundBurnout, marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and depletion of professional efficacy, is rampant among residents. With deleterious effects on productivity, conduct and patient care, resident programs have increasingly emphasized resilience training to combat burnout. However, the personalized nature of burnout complicates the effective design of such programs. Premised on recent works that identify burnout as a result of shifting personhood, this study utilizes the Ring Theory of Personhood to guide the conceptualization of resilience training programs that address changes in the belief systems shaping one's self-concept.MethodsA systematic scoping review to explore how resilience is addressed and assessed amongst medical residents was conducted. Guided by the PRISMA-compliant Systematic Evidence-Based Approach (SEBA), searches for relevant articles published between 1st January 2000 and 4th November 2024 on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ERIC and PsycINFO were performed. The SEBA methodology facilitated the integration of the themes and categories identified using thematic and content analyses.ResultsOf 15 953 abstracts screened, 666 articles were reviewed and 69 full-text articles were included. Three domains were identified: guiding theories; methods of teaching resilience; and assessment.ConclusionThe reliance on individual or societal theories has constrained the understanding, design and assessment of resilience programs. Current approaches, including mindfulness workshops, self-care initiatives and organization-led resilience training, are neither timely nor focused on the needs of each resident. To mitigate burnout, personalized, longitudinal and timely support is essential. Mentoring offers a more suitable alternative, providing culturally sensitive, resource-appropriate, sustainable and clinically relevant support to build resilience effectively.
