With rising numbers of working hours, rates of depression in U.S. first-year physicians increased.
“A new trial by Fang et al. showed that with the rising number of working hours, the rates of depression in U.S. first-year physicians increased as well [47].”
From Prevention of burnout syndrome in physicians: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2026) · cites this paper as [47]
In “To the Editor,” the authors report that higher weekly work hours among U.S. first-year physicians were associated with progressively greater increases in depressive symptoms; interns at higher hour levels also more often met higher depression-severity criteria. However, the citing sentence calls this a trial, whereas the authors describe it as an observational cohort study that emulated a trial, not a randomized trial. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
