In Plain Sight, a Radiology Workforce Crisis in the Making: Gap between Job Growth and the Radiology Training Pipeline.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2025. 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
background and purposeThis study aims to analyze the gap between the number of radiologist jobs listed in a single major US job posting center and the number of anticipated graduating general diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology trainees through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) as a primary source of radiologists to fulfill radiologist workforce needs. MATERIALS AND
methodsJob listings between 2014 and 2023 from a single large US radiology job listing source were collected for the total number of unique annual job listings, divided amongst neuroradiology-only, some component of neuroradiology, and no component of neuroradiology. NRMP data were collected for postgraduate year-2 (PGY-2) Diagnostic Radiology Residency and Neuroradiology Fellowship Match to estimate the number of general radiologists and neuroradiologists in the training pipeline graduating in the corresponding job listing year. The difference between the number of job listings and anticipated graduating trainees was calculated and extrapolated for the future.
resultsBetween 2014 and 2023, 31,825 jobs were listed in the American College of Radiology Career Center with 10,180 anticipated diagnostic radiology residency graduates during the same time period, for a 10-year cumulative deficit of 21,645 anticipated diagnostic radiology graduates. For neuroradiology-only jobs, the mismatch between job listings and anticipated fellowship-trained neuroradiologists was 2748 jobs to 1933 graduates. For all jobs, the mismatch between anticipated radiology training graduates and job listings grew over this time period.
conclusionsThere is a growing mismatch between diagnostic radiology job listings on a major job listing board compared with the anticipated pipeline of general radiologists and neuroradiologists entering training through the NRMP. This mismatch between the current growing need for radiologists and the training pipeline may help inform practice and training leaders seeking to mitigate the radiologist shortage.
