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
Objective: This study investigates the prevalence and contributory factors of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and insomnia, among resident physicians. Additionally, it endeavors to understand the complex characteristics of these issues across different demographic groups. Methods: Using an online cross-sectional design, the study engaged resident physicians in Inner Mongolia, China, through convenience sampling. Questionnaires collected data on sociodemographic background, training details, and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia, assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Conduct latent class analysis on psychological issues using Mplus software. Analyze the related influencing factors of different group characteristics using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: The study comprised 2891 resident physicians, revealing that 20.3% experienced moderate to severe anxiety, 19.72% had moderate to severe depression, and 9.6% faced moderate to severe insomnia. Latent class analysis identified three distinct mental health groups: a high anxiety-depression-insomnia group, a low anxiety-depression-healthy sleep group, and a moderate anxiety-mild depression-variable insomnia group. Factors such as training stage, professional accomplishments, self-reported medical errors, self-esteem, perceived stress, and social support were significantly associated with mental health issues, as identified by multivariate logistic regression. Conclusion: The mental health problems among residents are prominent. By analyzing mental health status and influencing factors, residents can be categorized into different groups, allowing for more targeted interventions. These interventions may include stress management, communication skills training, crisis intervention, and the development of support systems, along with improvements to the work environment and a focus on humanistic care.
