Future plans of veterinary graduates in Germany in 2023: an online survey.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: In Germany, as in other countries, a shortage of veterinarians is threatening the health and welfare of pets and livestock. Against this background, the aim of this study was to find out what plans veterinary graduates have after their studies, what field they want to work in and whether their career aspirations change during their studies. In addition, it was investigated whether the factors of gender, origin (urban/rural), and animal ownership before studying were associated with future planning/decision-making. Materials and methods: With the help of an online survey, German graduates of veterinary medicine from the class of 2023 were interviewed. Responses from 157 people were analyzed, which corresponds to a response rate of around 17%. Results: The results of this study show that almost half of the participants ( Discussion: These results provide an initial basis for estimating how many veterinarians enter the respective fields and should be taken into account when discussing changing the admission requirements of universities of veterinary medicine to attract more young people to a certain animal field or a certain region of Germany.
