Article in Cureus, 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
Introduction Residency training is a critical period marked by high stress and burnout. Wellness curriculums offer potential solutions, but their effectiveness remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess resident perceptions, awareness, and satisfaction following implementation of a resident-led structured wellness curriculum in an Internal Medicine residency program. Methods A cross-sectional survey conducted in May 2024 utilized a 20-point questionnaire distributed to residents across Post-Graduate Year (PGY) levels. The curriculum, based on the American Medical Association's (AMA) six aspects of wellness, was integrated into outpatient rotations. Expert-led talks covered burnout, sleep hygiene, nutrition and fitness, financial planning, emotional health, and fostering relationships. Statistical analysis included Chi-squared tests, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results Out of 90 total residents, 48 (53%) participated in the survey. PGY-1 residents constituted 40% of respondents; 58% reported awareness of AMA-defined wellness, and 83% expressed satisfaction with the curriculum. Supportive program leadership and work-life balance were the most valued aspects. 86% recommended continuing the curriculum, suggesting improvements such as increased hospital support staff, upgraded computer systems, mental health workshops, addressing workplace culture, and team outings during didactics. High attendance at wellness talks was observed. Conclusion Residents reported high satisfaction with the curriculum and strong support for its continuation. Feedback emphasized the importance of addressing organizational challenges and fostering a supportive culture within the residency program.
