Survey of Board-Certified Adult Congenital Heart Disease Providers Assessing Workforce Gaps.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2026. 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
Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are a rapidly growing population of patients with multisystemic issues that stem beyond the heart and require expert, specialized care. There is a critical shortage of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD)-trained physicians, with widening gaps in care projected. We designed a 26-question cross-sectional survey that was distributed via the Adult Congenital Heart Association to United States-based American Board of Internal Medicine ACHD certified physicians between December 2023 and March 2024, with a goal of evaluating their demography and opinions regarding workforce issues, gauging opinion regarding potential solutions. One hundred nineteen of 473 ACHD physicians (25%) responded, with complete responses to all questions by 104 (22%). Most respondents (67%) had not completed an ACHD-specific fellowship. Two-thirds were board-certified in pediatric cardiology, 32% in adult cardiovascular disease, and 34% were dual certified. Only 42% reported practicing ACHD as their “full-time” field. Nearly all (95%) were concerned about workforce shortages, and 87% planned to board recertify. Early-career physicians were less likely than their seniors to choose ACHD again or express a plan to recertify. While most favored revising current training pathways, the preferred pathway differed by training experience. In conclusion, less than half of currently boarded ACHD physician practice in their specialty full-time, suggesting even greater gaps in access to care for this complicated patient population.
