Resident doctor workforce wellbeing worldwide: Lessons between the UK and Australia.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 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
Healthcare systems fundamentally depend on the wellbeing and sustainability of their workforce. Physician burnout, workload strain and declining professional fulfilment are widely documented across high-income health systems. The UK and Australia share similar professional cultures and training pathways, but operate within distinct health system structures. Comparing these systems provides insight into the structural determinants of resident doctor wellbeing. Both countries face common challenges, including rising demand for care, domestic workforce shortages, and changing expectations of work-life balance. Data from both countries demonstrate persistently high levels of moral distress and intention to leave practice, alongside structural pressures including industrial action, training bottlenecks and changing workforce composition. Evidence on suicide risk further underscores the seriousness of workforce wellbeing as a public health issue. These shared outcomes highlight that structural differences do not protect resident doctors from distress. System-level reform and cultural change are essential to safeguard workforce wellbeing and health system sustainability.
