1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWellness research has expanded in surgery owing to the high prevalence of burnout. In this scoping review, we aim to identify trends of wellness interventions for surgeons and surgical trainees.

methodsWe identified studies on wellness interventions across surgical specialties. We categorized interventions based on the targeted wellness domain, including physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and occupational domains.

resultsWe included 49 studies in the final analysis. Most focused on resident wellness (

conclusionThe prevalence of individual-level interventions targeting emotional wellness reflects a belief that surgeons are responsible for their own wellness. Studies to date have largely focused on surgical trainees, with a dearth of research on measures to improve staff surgeon wellness. Methodologically sound intervention studies with objective outcome measures are lacking and needed to facilitate a culture of shared organizational responsibility for surgeon well-being.
