The quality of life of students is impacted by the quality of life of senior surgeons in French university hospitals.

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
introductionQuality of life of medical school students is impaired by anxiety or depression. As they spend more than of their time as assistants in the hospitals, it is expected that the quality of life of supervisors directly impacts that of students. The objective of this survey was to assess the quality of life of senior surgeons and medical students in visceral surgery at a university hospital in France.
methodsThe survey was conducted from 1st to 31st December 2024 using the Google Form platform. Two scales of quality of life were utilized: the WHOQOL-BREF and the PROQOL. A correlation matrix was performed to study the association between aspects of quality of life. Multivariate linear regressions were performed for modelling QoL scores.
resultsAmong the 106 subjects who responded to the questionnaire, 67 were senior surgeons (63.2%) and 39 were students (36.8%). The mean score on the Stress Traumatic Scale of the PROQOL was the only difference between groups and was found to be lower in the student group (19.9+/-6.9) in comparison to the senior surgeon group (22.9+/-8) (p=0.06). Interestingly, the mental health of the students was found to be improved with the highest score of mental health among the senior surgeons. Of particular interest is the observation that the burnout scale of the students was improved with the best score of the mental health of the senior surgeons.
conclusionThis study advocates for a strong correlation between the QoL of senior surgeons and that of students.
