Burnout and perceived health in medical residents after the COVID-19 pandemic: a single-center cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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: Residents have a high risk of burnout during the training period. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on work conditions and health of medical residents. We therefore estimated the prevalence of post-pandemic burnout and perceived health, and their relationship with psychosocial factors, stress profile, and job satisfaction, as well as the pre-post pandemic changes. Methods: We carried out a retrospective cross-sectional, online, anonymous survey using the validated FPSICO-4.0 questionnaire in a teaching hospital after the COVID-19 pandemic (2023). We also studied the pre-post changes from an independent pre-pandemic online survey (2018) with the same tool. Results: One hundred ninety-seven residents, 64% females, answered the questionnaire (43.5%); 28% had post-pandemic burnout without gender differences, being higher in surgical specialties (p=0.017) and along residency years (p=0.041). Role performance, behavior stress, job satisfaction and residency years were associated with an increase in odds of burnout (p<0.05). Supervision, conflict of role/cognitive stress explained 35% of the variation in perceived general health (adjusted-R2 = 0.356); temporary autonomy, supervision, information/training/promotion, behavior/somatic stress, and job satisfaction did 68% of mental health (adjusted-R2 = 0.683); and take decisions, conflict of role, behavior/somatic/cognitive stress, and male gender did 62% of vitality (adjusted-R2 = 0.624). Pre/post pandemic mean differences, adjusted by gender and residency year, showed deterioration of variety sense of work (p<0.001), effort of attention (p=0.026), behavior stress (p=0.022), and improvement of temporary autonomy (p=0.045). Conclusions: The identification after pandemic of high prevalence of burnout, stress levels and certain psychosocial risk factors (role performance and supervision), highlights the need of specific health promotion plan.
