1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study aimed to examine the prevalence of mobbing experiences among family medicine residents in Turkey.

methodsA cross-sectional prevalence study was conducted with 406 volunteer physicians undergoing family medicine residency training. Data were collected via an online survey including sociodemographic questions and a modified Mobbing Scale, which assessed mobbing behaviors across five sub-dimensions: lack of communication, boycott and isolation, threats and violence, reduced work commitment, and job and career barriers. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.

resultsThe findings revealed that 12.68% of participants experienced mobbing, while an additional 12.70% were uncertain whether they had experienced mobbing. The most frequently reported mobbing experiences occurred in the domains of reduced work commitment (34.69%) and job and career barriers (24.13%). No statistically significant differences were observed based on gender, years of professional experience, or institutional affiliation. However, mobbing related to job and career barriers was more prevalent in Turkish Health Sciences University hospitals. Additionally, a positive correlation was identified between age and job commitment, suggesting that older participants exhibited higher levels of commitment to their work.

conclusionThe study indicates that mobbing remains a significant issue among family medicine residents, particularly concerning job commitment and career-related obstacles. These findings highlight the need for increased awareness and the implementation of preventive strategies to mitigate mobbing in healthcare environments, especially within large and hierarchical institutions.
