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

Background: Pharmacy residents are at risk of burnout, which can affect their well-being and performance and reduce their sense of satisfaction. Support interventions, specifically peer support, mentorship, and connectedness, may help to alleviate stress and improve well-being. Objectives: To describe the current opportunities for and perceptions of support available to Canadian year 1 (Y1) pharmacy residents and to identify their interest in and desire for additional support opportunities. Methods: A cross-sectional national online survey of Canadian Y1 residents from the 2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/24 residency years was conducted. A subset of survey respondents participated in an online focus group designed to further explore themes identified in the survey. Results: A total of 109 residents participated in the survey, and 7 participated in the focus group. Participants reported that support was available to them in the forms of mentorship ( Conclusions: Mentorship and peer connection were the most commonly provided and highly valued supports for the Canadian Y1 pharmacy residents who participated in this study. Opportunities exist to enhance all forms of support offered to Y1 pharmacy residents, which ultimately may help to reduce resident burnout and improve resident well-being.
