Doctors' job shifts between non-profit and for-profit healthcare organisations: evidence from a national panel of doctors.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveConcerns have been raised about doctors shifting jobs from non-profit to for-profit healthcare, leaving non-profit organisations understaffed. This study explores the extent and underlying reasons for such job transitions. A 2024 national survey of Norwegian doctors (n = 1973; 78% response) examined job shifts from non-profit to for-profit healthcare over the past 2 years.
resultsFifty-one doctors (2.6%) had shifted from non-profit to for-profit healthcare in the past 2 years; 19 (37%) were still working in for-profit healthcare. A third of the doctors working in non-profit healthcare had considered switching to for-profit work (450/1517). This group was younger, less satisfied with their jobs, and reported higher sickness absence. Working hours were most often cited as a very important reason for shifting jobs.
