Roots of resilience: positive childhood experiences, sense of belonging, and burnout among medical students.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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: Burnout affects many medical students, yet the role of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) remains largely unexplored. Sense of belonging protects against burnout, but whether it mediates the link between PCEs and burnout is unknown. Objective: To test whether sense of belonging mediates the association between PCEs and burnout in medical students. Method: This cross-sectional survey study examined medical students (N = 132) at a U. S. medical school using validated measures of PCEs, sense of belonging, and burnout. Mediation was tested using PROCESS Model 4 with 5,000 bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals. Year of training, age, and gender were covariates. Results: All primary bivariate correlations were significant ( Conclusion: Findings are consistent with a partial mediation model in which belonging explains a substantial portion of the PCE - burnout association. Since belonging is institutionally modifiable, fostering belonging-oriented environments offers an evidence-informed burnout prevention strategy, especially for students with fewer nurturing childhood experiences.
