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: Specialty training has eroded empathy among residents, worsening burnout and perceived stress. With long working hours, limited resources and the need for a competent and compassionate workforce in India, the dearth of literature on burnout, empathy and stress among trainees is apparent. Objective: We assessed the prevalence of empathy among postgraduate residents in India in correlation with burnout and perceived stress. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive multicenter study conducted in India in 2024. An anonymous tailored questionnaire was disseminated to postgraduate residents in India using google forms. Empathy and perceived stress were assessed using Short-Form 8-Item Empathy Quotient (EQ-8) questionnaire and Perceived Stress Scale-4 (PSS-4) respectively. Burnout was assessed using components of Maslach Burnout Index. Results: 249 of 400 invited residents (response rate: 62.25%) participated in this study. Women had higher mean EQ-8 scores (men: 7.5 ± 3.5, women: 9.1 ± 3.5, Conclusion: Women and residents identifying as mentors to juniors had significantly higher empathy. Female residents and those working in a supportive environment with fewer working hours were less burnt out and less stressed.
