[The risk of choosing a residency in Health Sciences: a narrative review of key factors in decision-making]
Review in Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina), 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
Objective: To analyze the main factors influencing the choice of a health sciences residency from a risk perspective, in order to provide a conceptual framework that supports informed decision-making among individuals beginning their postgraduate training. Methods: A narrative review of the literature published between 2000 and 2024 was conducted in Spanish and English, using searches in databases such as Medline and Latindex, as well as in official documents and institutional websites. An inductive thematic categorization strategy was applied, identifying six analytical dimensions of risk. The process was carried out independently by the authors, following the ethical guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki and SANRA criteria. Results: The analysis identified six key components of perceived risk when choosing a residency: remuneration, institutional history, program structure, level of satisfaction, geographic location, and training opportunities. Each of these aspects entails specific advantages and challenges that must be evaluated by those in the selection process. The review provides practical tools and useful information to guide this decision. Conclusion: Choosing a health sciences residency is a complex process involving multiple risks. Understanding and critically analyzing the factors involved—based on diverse and reliable sources—helps reduce uncertainty and supports decisions that better align with personal and professional expectations. The proposed approach may serve as a guide for applicants, mentors, and institutional decision-makers.
