Demographics in distress: a national study of burnout and well-being of resident physicians in high-burnout specialties.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06149156 (Efficacy of a Mobile Health Mindfulness-based Intervention on Resident Well-being and Performance), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundResident burnout harms learning and negatively affects patient care, physician retention, and healthcare costs. Programs are increasingly prioritizing resident well-being. However, literature focuses on resident burnout, often overlooking well-being, and post-pandemic well-being has not been evaluated across specialties. This study assessed post-pandemic burnout and well-being among frontline residents nationwide and examined associations with demographics.
methodsA nationwide, cross-sectional survey in 2024 was conducted as part of a randomized controlled trial evaluating a well-being training among residents in high-burnout specialties (surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, family, internal, and emergency medicine). The survey assessed burnout and well-being outcomes. Prevalence rates of burnout or low well-being were calculated and compared across demographics. Regression models assessed associations with well-being, adjusting for demographic characteristics.
results540 residents responded. The sample was predominantly cisgender women (67%), White (67%), and in a non-surgical medical specialty (56%). Most residents (68%) had elevated stress, 83% had burnout, and 92% had elevated loneliness. Surgery residents and mid-level residents had higher burnout on the depersonalization subscale (p<.01) while Black residents had lower depersonalization (p<.01). Women had lower resilience (p<.001), flourishing (p<.001), and self-efficacy (p<.001). Compared to those married or in long-term relationships, single residents had higher loneliness and lower meaning and purpose (p<.001).
conclusionsEvidence suggests worsening trends among resident physicians concerning various aspects of burnout and well-being, and certain demographic groups are at higher risk. Our findings underscore the critical need for targeted well-being interventions in residency.
