Job satisfaction among postgraduate dental students and its contributing factors: a cross-sectional analysis.
Article in Human resources for health, 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
backgroundThis analytical cross-sectional study assessed job satisfaction, stress, and perceived social support among postgraduate dental students and identified contributing factors.
methodsSixty-four postgraduate dental students across 10 specialties at Mashhad Dental School participated between January and February 2024. A structured questionnaire included the Brayfield-Rothe Job Satisfaction Scale, a validated Persian Job Satisfaction Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale. Demographic data were also collected. Statistical analyses examined relationships between variables, with a significance level of 0.05.
resultsThe Brayfield-Rothe Scale indicated above-average job satisfaction (p < 0.05), while the Persian Job Satisfaction Scale showed below-average scores (p < 0.05). Perceived social support (p < 0.05) and psychological well-being (p < 0.05) were above average. Married students reported significantly higher satisfaction and social support (p = 0.002). Significant correlations were found between job satisfaction, perceived social support, and psychological well-being.
conclusionPostgraduate dental students reported high perceived social support and psychological well-being but elevated stress levels, with varying job satisfaction across scales. Married students demonstrated higher satisfaction and support. Enhancing support systems and stress-reduction strategies in dental education is recommended.
