Where to Practice Pathology? Comments from a Personal Journey.
Article in Head and neck pathology, 2025. 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
This article concerns the years I spent in practicing anatomic pathology in various places and the evolution of my opinion that location and specialization are linked. I am going to assume that those of us who practice pathology know how to describe the nature of our duties and responsibilities as well as how we got to that point, whether as generalist or specialist. In addition, we know geographically and institutionally where we presently are. My personal experience and observations, admittedly anecdotal, have been that pathologists commonly practice in one or at the most two locations during the course of a career. The reasons are multifactorial, but my comments here suggest that it need not be a foreordained conclusion that where one starts is where one finishes.
