Article in HCA healthcare journal of medicine, 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
Background: Physician burnout, particularly among female graduate medical education (GME) trainees, is a growing concern that affects physician wellness and patient safety. Professional coaching has shown promise in improving physician wellness. The Better Together Physician Coaching program (BT) is a web-based, group-coaching program, piloted using female GME trainees, aimed at improving key indicators of well-being, including burnout and impostor syndrome. In this qualitative study, we aimed to understand the challenges faced by female physician trainees shared in the pilot of the BT coaching intervention. Methods: A total of 101 female physician trainees participated in the BT pilot. A sample of 41 of the 80 group coaching calls and all 21 written coaching requests were included in this study. A qualitative content analysis was conducted of 132 coaching instances, using a team-based, deductive and inductive, rapid domain analysis strategy. Results: Deductive analysis of 132 coaching instances confirmed burnout, impostor syndrome, self-compassion, and moral injury as key areas for which female physician trainees sought coaching. Inductive analysis also identified additional areas for which trainees sought coaching, including career uncertainty, feedback navigation, and relationship stress. Conclusion: The preliminary findings highlight the importance of addressing these specific challenges and tailoring coaching interventions to meet the needs of female physician trainees.
