Bullying among medical residents in a large public hospital: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveBullying is a prevalent issue in medical residency worldwide, yet data from Latin America remain limited. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of bullying and its associated factors among medical residents in a public hospital in Brazil.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 82 medical residents. Bullying was assessed using the Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised.
resultsThere was a prevalence of bullying ranging from 45.1% (Leymann's criteria) to 51.2% (Einarsen, Hoel, and Notelaers criteria). The overall median Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised score was 33 (interquartile range: 27-42), with no significant difference between first-year residents and later-year residents (28.0 vs. 34.5; p=0.06). However, first-year residents reported lower median scores for some bullying domains, including "Work-Related Bullying" (p=0.04), "Personal and Professional Disqualification" (p=0.03), and "Physical Intimidation" (p=0.02). Only 7% of residents self-reported feeling bullied. No associations were found between bullying and sex or specialty.
conclusionThese findings indicate a high prevalence of bullying in the medical residency programs studied, particularly among more advanced trainees. The large gap between assessed and self-perceived bullying suggests a lack of awareness about what constitutes harassment.
