Different resources for different times: sense of coherence and emotional intelligence as correlates of adaptation in six cohorts of medical students.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Background: Sense of coherence (SOC) and emotional intelligence (EI) are both conceptualised as psychological resources protecting medical students from the demands of their training. Whether their associations with indicators of adaptation are stable across cohorts recruited at different time points has not previously been examined within a single multi-cohort study at one institution. Methods: We analysed data from six independent cross-cohort of second-year medical students at the Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland, between 2014 and 2024 ( Results: In the 2014 cohort, SOC showed a clear gradient with quality of life (mean difference "wonderful" vs. "not very good" = 48.8 points, 95% CI: 26.0-71.6); no comparable gradient was detected in the 2015-2024 cohorts. Total EI was highest in the 2024 cohort (Md = 124) compared with 2015-2018 (Md = 118-119) and showed gradients with adaptation indicators in several cohorts. The SOC variance in 2015-2018 substantially reduces statistical power to detect associations in these cohorts. Conclusion: SOC and EI showed different patterns of association with indicators of adaptation across the six cohorts examined. This implies a need to shift the emphasis in mentoring programmes from building a global sense of meaning toward developing specific emotional competencies.
