1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Converting knowledge from basic research into innovations that improve clinical care requires a specialized workforce that converts a laboratory invention into a product that can be developed and tested for clinical use. As the mandate to demonstrate more real-world impact from the national investment in research continues to grow, the demand for staff that specialize in product development and clinical trials continues to outpace supply. In this study, two academic medical institutions in the greater Houston-Galveston region termed this population the "bridge and clinical research professional" (B + CRP) workforce and assessed its turnover before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic . Both institutions realized growth (1.2 vs 2.3-fold increase) in B + CRP-specific jobs from 2017 to 2022. Turnover increased 1.5-2-fold after the onset of the pandemic but unlike turnover in the larger clinical and translational research academic workforce, the instability did not resolve by 2022. These results are a baseline measurement of the instability of our regional B + CRP workforce and have informed the development of a regional alliance of universities, academic medical centers, and economic development organizations in the greater Houston-Galveston region to increase this highly specialized and skilled candidate pool.
