Article in Journal of athletic training, 2024. 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
contextThe labor market suffered a mass exodus of employees, including health care workers, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previous research has highlighted the vulnerability of young professional athletic trainers (YPATs) to attrition. Investigating pandemic-related employment changes and their impact is essential for developing strategies to improve the retention of YPATs.
objectiveTo determine the impact of COVID-19 on YPATs' employment and the effect of COVID-19 and employment setting migration on outcome measures of personal and financial well-being, job and career satisfaction, and optimism about staying in the profession.
designCross-sectional, descriptive study.
settingWeb-based survey. PATIENTS OR OTHER
participantsOne thousand one hundred eleven participants responded to survey for an 9.1% response rate (n = 1111 of 12 180). Partial responses were included; thus, the number of respondents varied by question. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: A web-based survey composed of 34 closed-ended questions was disseminated to National Athletic Trainers' Association members in November 2022. Descriptive statistics including counts and frequencies for each surveyed item in addition to χ2 tests were used to analyze responses.
resultsOf responding YPATs, 30.2% (n = 335 of 1111) changed employers and 25.7% (n = 286 of 1111) reported a change in employment setting. Notably, YPATs migrated from high school, collegiate, and professional athletics to clinic, industrial, or sales settings. Overall, the pandemic decreased job satisfaction, career satisfaction, and optimism about professional longevity. Changes in employment had a positive impact on personal well-being in addition to job and career satisfaction but not optimism regarding staying in the profession. Salary and work-life balance were reported as important predictors of short- and long-term retention for YPATs.
conclusionsThe pandemic brought changes to employers and employment settings for many YPATs. To reduce turnover and attrition, administrators must begin to prioritize employee well-being and satisfaction. In addition to increasing salary and reducing workload, employers should recognize the importance of administrative support in promoting well-being together with satisfaction and professional optimism in early professional and career-advancing athletic trainers.
