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

Recognition of how physicians contemplate and approach their activities, positive or negative, may shed light into a more holistic depiction of physician well-being. The purpose of this work was to develop items to measure wise cognitive exertion, constructed with Stoic thought, and determine its association with physician stress, well-being, and life satisfaction. A survey was sent to physicians and university staff members. This pilot investigation found a relationship among focusing on a purposeful life, acknowledging locus of control, avoiding wasteful cognition, and taking (good or bad) life experiences for personal growth and superior life satisfaction, well-being and lower stress. A 13-Item Wise Exertion Scale was developed and had significant associations with stress, well-being, and life satisfaction. Each of the four factors from the 13-Item Wise Exertion Scale were significantly associated with each measure with the exception of
