Early career psychiatrists in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study.
Article in CNS spectrums, 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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education and professional development, working conditions, and wellbeing of early career psychiatrists (ECPs) in Europe, as well as their attitudes to telepsychiatry.
methodsA questionnaire comprising 24 items was designed by the Early Career Psychiatrists Committee of the European Psychiatric Association. Data were collected online from June 2020 to September 2021. A series of multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine variables that could predict the dependent variables.
resultsData were obtained from 517 early career psychiatrists from 39 different countries. Men were more confident than women in their knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms and management, including in managing patients with a comorbidity of COVID-19 and a mental disorder. Providing specific recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic, access to additional educational activities for ECPs, following COVID-19-related recommendations and access to protective equipment were the significant predictors of a higher confidence in managing patients with comorbidity of COVID-19 and mental disorders. The obligation to change the place of work predicted a decreased satisfaction with telepsychiatry as well as a decreased willingness to use telepsychiatry after the COVID-19 pandemic, while a diagnosis of COVID-19, having recommendations for telepsychiatry and access to dedicated platform for telemedicine were predictors of an increased satisfaction with telepsychiatry.
conclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected ECPs in Europe to varying degrees. The results point to areas where decision-makers can improve the working conditions for ECPs.
