1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: This study aims to identify heterogeneous subgroups of first-year residents experiencing transition shock using latent profile analysis (LPA) and to explore the predictive effects of various dimensions of professional identity on different transition shock types. Methods: A multi-center, cross-sectional design was employed. From September 2023 to August 2024, a total of 766 first-year residents were selected via cluster sampling from four national-level training bases in Hubei Province, China, for a cross-sectional survey. The survey was conducted using the revised Transition Shock Scale (Cronbach's Results: A total of 574 valid questionnaires were returned. Latent profile analysis identified three latent classes: a low psychological-sociocultural shock group (13.41%, Conclusion: Transition shock among first-year residents exhibits significant heterogeneity. These findings provide evidence for developing targeted intervention strategies. Higher levels of professional cognition, commitment, and expectation are associated with lower levels of transition shock. However, a strong sense of professional values is associated with higher transition shock, a relationship potentially mediated by an idealism-reality gap. It is recommended that tiered competency-building interventions should be implemented for the high physical-knowledge/skill shock group, and a dual-track support system should be designed for Master of Medicine degree candidates.
