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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate factors sustaining interest of Chinese residents in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP), identify barriers to specialization, and determine how residency training experiences shape career choices, addressing critical workforce shortages in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS).
methodsA multi-site online survey was conducted among psychiatry residents in China to examine their interest in CAP before residency training, track its changes during training, and identify factors influencing these attitudes.
resultsAmong the 230 psychiatry residents who responded (response rate = 54.76%), 112 (48.70%) reported moderate-to-high pre-residency CAP predisposition, primarily motivated by the desire to help society (58.04%), career development and advancement (57.17%), and interest in the field (54.46%). Among those residents with prior interest, 25 (22.32%) maintained and 66 (58.93%) increased their interest. Moreover, 46 (38.98%) of the 118 residents who initially perceived barriers increased their interest during the training. Role models who were CAP mentors emerged as the key factor in both sustaining and increasing interest, followed by CAP rotation experiences, whereas the burden of working with parents/families was identified as the main obstacle.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the relatively positive attitudes towards CAP among Chinese psychiatry residents. The changes in CAP interest during residency training highlight the importance of prioritizing CAP mentorship modeling, enhancing positive rotation experiences, and proactively managing emotional burdens during residency training to attract and retain residents in CAP. Addressing these factors is crucial for developing a more resilient and sustained CAMHS workforce equipped to meet China's needs.
