1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesBeyond the universal emotional and mental health challenges faced by all healthcare workers, individuals identifying with certain racial and ethnic groups face amplified stressors and barriers. This study examined distress profiles and help-seeking behaviors among diverse healthcare workers who voluntarily completed a mental health screening at one large, academic medical center.

methodsBetween May 1, 2009, and March 27, 2025, 6,237 healthcare students, trainees, staff and faculty at the University of California San Diego Health System participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Interactive Screening Program (ISP). Data from the ISP was used to compare burnout, depression, intense affective states, suicide risk factors, mental health treatment, perceived stigma regarding help-seeking, and attitudes towards institutional support among different racial and ethnic cohorts.

resultsA disproportionate burden of psychological distress such as depression, suicide risk, and loneliness was revealed among Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI), Hispanic/Latino individuals, and multiracial-identifying individuals. Individuals who preferred not to disclose their racial/ethnic identity were found to exhibit higher levels of burnout, loneliness, and hopelessness.

conclusionsFindings underscore the importance of recognizing racial and ethnic disparities in mental health and access to mental healthcare for a diverse workforce, and the need to prioritize inclusive, accessible, and effective resources and policies.
