Radiologist Turnover in the United States.
Article in Journal of the American College of Radiology : JACR, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo estimate the turnover rate and its association with workload and radiologist and practice characteristics given the detrimental aspects of turnover on radiology practices.
methodsThis retrospective study (2013-2022) examined practice turnover rates (leaving one practice to join another) of radiologists by year (radiologist-years). Radiologist and practice characteristics were obtained from CMS (Medicare Data on Provider Practice and Specialty and National Downloadable Files). Radiologists' workload was estimated based on 5% sample of CMS Medicare fee-for-service claims and Inovalon Insights, LLC (Bowie, MD), claims (commercial, Medicaid, and Medicare Advantage). Radiologists' total workload was extrapolated from these claims based on the population represented in these data. Turnover odds by radiologist and practice characteristics and workload were estimated by logistic regression.
resultsBetween 2013 and 2022, 280,692 radiologist-years (39,439 radiologists) met the selection criteria. Turnover increased from 5.3% to 8.5% (from 2013 to 2022). Adjusted turnover odds were 1.96 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.83-2.10) in 2022 versus 2013, were higher for female versus male (odds ratio [OR]: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.02-1.10) and metropolitan versus nonmetropolitan (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.05-1.20), and were lower for academic versus nonacademic (OR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.86-0.97) radiologists and decreased with years of practice (YOP). The turnover rate decreased as workload increased until reaching a minimum rate-an inflection point-and then increased. This inflection point was lower for academic versus nonacademic radiologists and with more YOP.
conclusionsFactors associated with higher turnover included excessive workload, nonacademic practices, females, lower YOP, and metropolitan setting. Practices should consider these factors as they design retention efforts.
