Evolving trends in medical trainee wellbeing research from 2014 to 2023: A bibliometric analysis.
Article 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
backgroundMedical trainees, including medical students and residents, face considerable stress, necessitating research on their wellbeing. Here we performed a bibliometric analysis to provide an overview of research on wellbeing in this vulnerable population.
methodsA systematic search of the Web of Science Core Collection from 2014 to 2023 identified 1148 relevant publications. Bibliometric techniques were used to analyze publication counts, countries and institutions, authors, journals, and keyword co-occurrence.
resultsThe United States led publication output. Clusters of research topics included mental health symptoms for medical students, professional challenges for residents, multiple aspects of wellbeing, and interventions. COVID-19 emerged as a significant topic, with new topics such as narrative medicine and professionalism emerging in the post-pandemic era.
conclusionsThe research landscape on medical trainee wellbeing is evolving and was significantly reshaped by COVID-19. Emerging topics such as narrative medicine and professionalism reflect a shift towards comprehensive approaches. Future research should investigate online learning on trainee wellbeing, address mistreatment and trauma, and integrate narrative medicine to enhance empathy and resilience. This focus will provide actionable insights for improving the wellbeing of medical trainees and creating a healthier training environment.
