Resilience among European geriatricians: a cross-sectional survey combining self-reported and performance-based measures.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 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
backgroundComprehensive geriatric assessment and resilience evaluation are central to modern geriatric care. While geriatricians strongly advocate healthy ageing and prevention, little is known about their own resilience profiles.
methodsDuring an international meeting of the European Academy for Medicine of Ageing (EAMA) held in July 2025 in Zeist, the Netherlands, and the 21st EuGMS Congress in Reykjavik, Iceland, we conducted a cross-sectional survey paired with standardized physical and cognitive performance tests. A composite resilience score was derived from standardized handgrip strength (sex-specific), chair stand performance, reaction time, and optimism and was associated with several person- and work-related characteristics in regression models.
resultsNinety-four geriatricians (mean age 45.4 years; 66% women) participated. In age- and sex-adjusted analyses, resilience was lower among geriatricians working in Western and Southern Europe compared with Northern Europe. Poorer electronic health record availability and unbalanced work-life conditions were independently associated with lower resilience.
conclusionsEven among physicians highly aware of healthy ageing principles, resilience varies meaningfully across regions and working conditions. Organizational and contextual factors appear to matter more than individual lifestyle characteristics, highlighting the need to address physician well-being as part of sustainable geriatric care systems.
