DIVERGENT PATHS TO CAREER FULFILLMENT IN APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY.
Article in Practicing anthropology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Despite their academic training, most anthropologists do not work in tenure-track positions in departments of anthropology. While some systematic data indicate where these anthropologists are employed, we know less about their experiences or what led them to work outside the academy. This paper discusses examples of divergent career paths among the special issue contributors and analyzes key themes in their papers. While their histories vary generationally, our authors share commonalities. Many mastered cross-over skills that prepared them to work collaboratively and to apply anthropological insights and methods in research and community settings. Some perceived stigma and barriers to communicating with traditional academic colleagues. Others merged theory and practice to develop pedagogical reforms. Drawing on lessons as mentors in training programs and advocates in our own careers, we recommend that practitioners' narratives be used to re-imagine career options, revise training programs, and increase visibility for applied careers across the anthropological community.
