Positive childhood experiences and burnout among medical students: the role of adaptive emotion regulation as a mediator.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Burnout is a state of chronic exhaustion caused by excessive stress. Medical trainees are highly vulnerable to burnout, which can negatively affect their well-being. Empirical evidence from Bethell et al. demonstrates that positive childhood experiences reduce adult depression and anxiety, while Gross's process model suggests that adaptive emotion regulation strategies buffer against stress-related outcomes. Building upon these frameworks, positive childhood experiences (PCE) and adaptive (positive) emotion regulation (ER) are thought to be protective against burnout, but the mechanisms which mediate these effects are poorly understood. This study aimed to explore whether adaptive ER mediates the relationship between PCE and burnout among medical students. Participants completed well-established and validated measurements of PCEs (Benevolent Childhood Experiences scale), adaptive ER (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire short version), and burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory). Our results indicate that adaptive ER mediates the relationship between PCEs and burnout, with a moderate indirect effect of PCEs on burnout (
