When passion is not enough: the waning of the infectious disease workforce.
Article in mSphere, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Scientists and physicians who pursue careers in infectious diseases are often passionate about understanding microbial pathogenesis and anti-microbial resistance. They are driven by the impact that their work has on improving public health and reducing human suffering through the discovery, development, and delivery of technologies that enable prevention and radical cure of debilitating and deadly diseases. Yet, despite their passion, there is a shrinking talent pool in antibiotic research and development (R&D) (https://www.amrindustryalliance.org/mediaroom/leaving-the-lab-tracking-the-decline-in-amr-rd-professionals/) as well as in the clinical practice specialty of infectious diseases as recognized by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (https://www.idsociety.org/news--publications-new/articles/2024/idsa-and-pids-statement-on-2024-id-fellowship-match/). This talent drain has wide repercussions beyond its impact on R&D and clinical practice and needs to be addressed from many angles to attract and retain new talent, to increase investment in and output from antibiotic R&D, and to mitigate the rising risk of the inability to deliver safe and efficacious solutions to patients in need.
