The interplay of grit, resilience, and burnout among medical students during exams: a cross-sectional study in Mansoura university, Egypt.

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
Medical students experience significant burnout during exams, underscoring the need for factors that can buffer its impact. Thus, this cross-sectional study examined the relationship between grit, resilience, and burnout among Mansoura University medical students during the January 2025 exam period. Following a pilot study, an online survey distributed via the faculty’s official student platforms using convenience sampling collected responses from 653 students. Participants completed the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT-23), Short Grit Scale (Grit-S), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Pearson correlations assessed bivariate relationships, and multivariable linear regression identified independent predictors of burnout. Mean total burnout was 3.62 (range 1–5), and subdomain means were highest for exhaustion (3.96) and cognitive impairment (3.66). Burnout correlated negatively with grit (r = − 0.595, p < 0.001) and resilience (r = − 0.519, p < 0.001); grit and resilience were positively correlated (r = 0.426, p < 0.001). In multivariable regression analysis, both grit (Unstandardized Beta (B) = -0.46, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) [-0.52, -0.39]) and resilience (B = -0.32, 95% CI [-0.38, -0.25]) were independently associated with lower burnout. These findings highlight grit and resilience as significant protective factors against burnout among medical students during exams.
