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
Background: Physician mental health has become an increasingly urgent concern worldwide, yet little attention has been paid to the psychological wellbeing of resident physicians in China. This study aims to assess the mental health status of Chinese resident physicians and identify key demographic and professional factors associated with psychiatric symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 276 resident physicians at Qilu Hospital, Shandong University. Participants completed a structured questionnaire that included demographic information and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) to evaluate psychological distress. Residents were classified as screening positive for psychiatric symptoms if they met any of the following criteria: a total score ≥160, more than 43 items rated ≥1 (mild), or at least one item rated ≥3 (moderate). Statistical analyses included independent-sample t-tests, chi-squared tests, and binary logistic regression to identify influencing factors. Results: Among 276 respondents, 20.1% screened positive for psychiatric symptoms. Compared to the Chinese general population, residents showed significantly elevated scores in obsessive symptoms ( Conclusion: Chinese resident physicians experience a high burden of psychological distress, with multiple risk and protective factors identified. These findings highlight the need for tailored mental health interventions, including improving working conditions, strengthening professional support systems, and addressing interpersonal and career-related pressures during residency training.
