Article in Journal of public health management and practice : JPHMP. 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
This study examines entry pathways, motivations, and workforce characteristics of employees aged 35 years and under using data from the 2024 Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey. The survey received 56 595 responses, including 12 839 from the 35 and underage group who completed tailored questions on entry and career motivations. Compared with older colleagues, a larger proportion of younger staff hold a public health degree (36% vs 17%) and work in public health sciences roles (54% vs 37%). Most entered the state and local government public health workforce from other jobs, with 60% coming from outside the public health field. Although many intend to remain in governmental public health long term, advancement barriers contribute to anticipated early departures. These findings suggest opportunities to strengthen and expand pathways into governmental public health, as well as leadership development strategies to retain this skilled and mission-driven segment of the workforce.
