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

Introduction: Globally, alarming trends of psychological distress among physicians and medical students threaten patient care and professionalism. The resilience and well-being of medical educators have been recognised as key influences on learners. However, relevant research is limited, especially in Asian contexts. Using the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) model as a lens, this study explores what external and individual factors impact the resilience of Hong Kong (HK)-based medical educators. Methods: HK-based medical educators, who taught medical students and physicians, were recruited using purposive sampling. They participated in semi-structured online interviews from 06/2021 to 04/2022. Anonymous sociodemographic information was collected through an online survey, and video recordings were transcribed anonymously. Guided by the NAM model, a hybrid deductive and inductive thematic analysis was conducted. Results: Twenty medical educators participated. They identified factors capturing all seven NAM model domains as influencing their resilience. Of those, " Discussion: This study, the first of its kind in Asia, examined the applicability and contextual suitability of the NAM model for use among HK-based medical educators. They perceived organisational and individual factors as complementary in influencing their resilience. Our findings highlighted the importance of considering both system- and individual-level aspects when designing strategies for promoting resilience in this population.
