Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 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
backgroundThe 2024 healthcare crisis in South Korea, triggered by mass resignations of residents, caused widespread disruptions in healthcare services. This study investigates the impact of this crisis on foot and ankle surgery at a tertiary medical center in South Korea.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent foot and ankle surgeries at a tertiary center. The study population was divided into pre-crisis and post-crisis groups. Data on demographics, surgery types, anesthesia methods, and clinical outcomes were analyzed.
resultsThe total number of surgeries decreased after healthcare crisis (from 181 to 109 cases). No significant differences were found between the pre- and post-crisis periods in demographics (
conclusionBased on the present study conducted at a single tertiary medical center, the shortage of medical personnel due to resident resignations during South Korea's medical crisis led to a reduction in total surgical volume, an increase in infection severity, and a shift in anesthesia techniques.
