Comparison of affective temperament, parental bonding, and intelligence between individuals who chose medical and non-medical professions.
Article in Frontiers in 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: Professional choice is an important aspect of one's life and is associated with biopsychosocial and economic factors. Medical and co-medical professional choices may involve a noble intention to contribute to patients. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association between medical and co-medical professional choices and affective temperament, parental bonding, and intelligence. Methods: The dataset included 130 individuals (19 with medical or co-medical professional choices and 111 without). Data on participants' demographics, intelligence levels, affective temperament, and parental bonding were collected and subsequently compared among the two groups using an unpaired t-test and Results: Only higher paternal care was significantly associated with medical and co-medical professional choices. Conclusion: Our study findings suggest that paternal care is associated with medical or co-medical professional choices. Further prospective studies are required to determine causal relationships and investigate other factors related to such choices, given the non-association of all other variables in the study.
