Role of Resilience in Predicting and Empathy Dimensions in Dental Students: A Cross-Sectional Design.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ecological empathy is a complex and multifaceted attribute, a highly relevant human factor in health care. This study aimed to determine the association between individual resilience and empathy in dental students and to assess whether resilience predicted empathy and its dimensions. The study employed a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional design. The sample, consisting of 397 students from the first to the seventh year of dental surgery, was measured on empathy and resilience. Multiple regression analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, invariance analysis, and methods were employed to ensure the reliability of our measurements. It was established that the measurements of resilience and empathy were valid and reliable in the studied population. Ecological resilience increased the levels of the perspective adoption dimension, and adaptive resilience raised the compassionate threshold. The engineering resilience dimension was not associated with any of the empathy dimensions. While resilience may not fully explain empathy variability, it remains a personal attribute related to empathy. Further investigation of the role of resilience in empathy and its components is required since improving healthcare professionals' empathy has positive implications for the quality of care and patient satisfaction.
