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 Stress is an intrinsic aspect of the medical field. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing stress coping strategies among physicians in Poland's Silesian Voivodeship (region), considering variables such as sex, type of specialization, personality type, and psychophysical well-being. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 655 Polish physicians and used various research instruments, including the Mini COPE-Coping Inventory, the Resiliency Assessment Scale, the Framingham Type A Scale, and the Wellbeing Scale. A multivariate data analysis model helped identify determinants of the stress coping strategies used by these doctors. RESULTS Findings indicated that higher resilience levels, particularly among women, were associated with the use of problem-oriented strategies, such as planning, active coping, and acceptance. Emotion-focused behaviors, religious engagement, and seeking emotional and instrumental support were notably linked to women in non-surgical specializations. In contrast, behavioral disengagement, self-blame, denial, and substance use correlated with lower resilience and well-being levels and were more common among men. The demonstrated links between determining factors, especially resilience levels and coping with stress can influence the design of targeted training modules on mental resilience in medical education or the creation of specialized support programs for at-risk subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Stress coping strategies used among Polish doctors in Poland's Silesian region are influenced by resilience, sex, specialization, and psychophysical well-being. Adaptive coping strategies are more prevalent among individuals with higher resilience, particularly women with non-surgical specialties. Conversely, maladaptive strategies are mainly associated with men experiencing lower well-being and resilience levels.
