Academic activities of pediatric surgeons in Japan questionnaire survey on the members of the Japanese society of pediatric surgeons.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 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
purposeTo assess the current situation by surveying past clinical and basic research experiences of members of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons (JSPS). MATERIAL AND
methodAn online survey was conducted in 2024. Members of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire that included 43 items on their research experience, including conference presentations, published manuscripts, research funding, and study abroad experience.
resultsIn total, 320 participants responded to the survey. Respondents were divided into two groups: a young doctor group (U45, primarily Millennials, N = 195) and an older doctor group (O45, primarily Baby Boomers and Generation X, N = 125). Forty percent (39/195) of the U45s and 16.8% (21/125) of the O45s felt that their supervisors provided insufficient academic guidance. O45s showed greater motivation with regard to academic mentorship than U45s (U45 vs. O45 = 8.7% vs. 21.6%, p < 0.01). Younger generations are starting to write English case reports and original articles at a younger age (U45 vs. O45 = 8.30 ± 2.99 vs. 9.44 ± 4.13 years after graduation, p = 0.02). Both the U45 and O45 groups demonstrated high levels of motivation towards academic activities.
conclusionAlthough pediatric surgeons in Japan are highly motivated to engage in academic activities, the academic activity guidance system is not sufficiently conducive.
