The Receding Specialty of Infectious Diseases and Implications for U.S. Healthcare.
Article in Open forum infectious diseases, 2025. 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
Infectious diseases physicians serve on the frontline of disease prevention, outbreak mitigation, and direct patient care across the healthcare continuum. To reverse troubling trends in the ID workforce, policymakers, healthcare administrators, and the public must understand the essential societal role of ID physicians. Solutions include adopting new compensation models, loan forgiveness for medical specialties where demand exceeds supply, reformed immigration policies for staffing medically underserved areas and reinvestment in public health. A receding ID workforce will result in delayed ID specialty care, worse clinical outcomes, worsening antibiotic resistance, increased healthcare costs, decreased pandemic preparedness, and an overall sicker nation.
