Tutor-postgraduate interaction and dropout intention among Chinese medical postgraduates: multiple mediating roles of emotional regulatory self-efficacy and burnout.

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
Introduction: Tutor-postgraduate interaction plays a significant role in the cultivation of medical postgraduates. However, the relationship between tutor-postgraduate interaction and dropout intention remains poorly understood, and the pathways and mechanisms driving this relationship have yet to be clarified. This study aimed to explore pathways from tutor-postgraduate interaction to dropout intention among Chinese medical postgraduates, and examine the potential mediating roles of burnout and emotional regulatory self-efficacy (ERSE). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1,166 medical postgraduates from a Chinese medical university were recruited between October 1st and December 31st, 2023. Participants completed self-reported questionnaires assessing tutor-postgraduate interaction, burnout, ERSE, dropout intention, and sociodemographic characteristics. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to examine both direct and indirect pathways from tutor-postgraduate interaction to dropout intention via ERSE and burnout. Results: The prevalence of dropout intention was 19.04% in this study. SEM analysis revealed significant direct ( Conclusion: This is the first study to provide empirical evidence for mediating roles of ERSE and burnout in the relationship between tutor-postgraduate interaction and dropout intention among Chinese medical postgraduates. Enhancing ERSE and alleviating burnout represent promising targets for preventive interventions aimed at reducing dropout intention. These findings offer valuable insights for improving tutorship and informing relevant educational policies in Chinese medical postgraduate education.
