The Mismatch Between Neuroscience Graduate Training and Professional Skill Sets.
Article in Journal of undergraduate neuroscience education : JUNE : a publication of FUN, Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Neuroscience career paths are rapidly changing as the field expands and increasingly overlaps with computational and data-heavy job sectors. With the steady growth in neuroscience trainees and the diversification of jobs for those trainees, it is important to identify the necessary skills in neuroscience career paths and how well graduate training is preparing our students for this ever-changing workforce. Here, we survey hundreds of neuroscience professionals and graduate students to assess their use and valuation of a range of skills, from bench skills to communication and management. We find that almost all neuroscience professionals report strongly needing management and communication skills, but that these were seen as are less important by graduate students. In addition, coding and data analysis skills are widely used in academic and industry research, predict higher salaries, and are more commonly used by male-identifying graduate students. These findings can help trainees assess their own skill sets as well as encourage educational leaders to offer training in skills beyond the bench, helping to catapult trainees into the next stages of their careers.
