Management of stress in doctors in their first postgraduate year.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 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
backgroundInterns represent their own unique cohort and phenomena relating to burnout, and stress levels.
aimsThis paper aims to evaluate an online teaching unit, designed to facilitate transition from medical student to doctor.
methodsThe study evaluated an interactive eLearning unit on "Intern Stress Management," embedded in the University College Dublin Intern Network and supplemented with face-to-face workshops at two Dublin hospitals. The unit, combined case studies, reflective exercises, and interactive elements, while workshops discussed stress, self-care and launched the unit. A mixed-methods approach using pre- and post-intervention surveys (PSS-10, self-rated health, and free text responses) assessed effectiveness.
resultsAcross six months, 90 questionnaires showed significant reduction in mean PSS-10 scores (19.09 to 15.93; p = 0.009). Objective and subjective measures indicated reduced high stress, though many interns shifted toward moderate stress. Despite positive health ratings, self-stigma remained high.
conclusionThe unit effectively reduced stress, and national rollout may benefit interns, supporting their transition to medical practice.
