How Tolerance of Uncertainty Relates to Well-Being in Japanese Primary Care Physicians: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Yonago acta medica, 2026. 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
Background: Medical uncertainty is inherent in clinical practice, especially in primary care where clinicians regularly face multimorbidity, ambiguous symptoms, and unpredictable care courses. Although tolerance of uncertainty (TU) has been associated internationally with resilience, job satisfaction, and decision-making, little is known about its relationship to physician well-being in Japan. In a medical culture that emphasizes precision and decisiveness, navigating uncertainty may be psychologically challenging. This study examined the association between TU and two dimensions of well-being-subjective well-being (SWB) and eudaimonic well-being (EWB)-among Japanese primary care physicians. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey from March 1 to 31, 2023, targeting physicians on the Japan Primary Care Association mailing list ( Results: Out of 152 responses, 150 were valid. The SIUS score showed a significant negative correlation with both SWBS ( Conclusion: Higher tolerance of uncertainty is positively associated with both subjective and eudaimonic well-being among Japanese primary care physicians. These findings suggest that fostering TU may enhance psychological health and support professional development.
