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
objectiveStudies have highlighted deficiencies in the emerging child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) workforce. The primary objectives of this study were to analyze the supply, demand, and adequacy of the CAP workforce in the United States (US).
methodsThis was a cross-sectional analysis of full-time equivalent physicians in the CAP workforce utilizing the Health Workforce Simulation Model. Annual supply was defined as the number of CAP physicians working each year. Annual demand was defined as the number of CAP physicians needed each year under status quo and improved access scenarios. Workforce adequacy was defined as the ratio of supply over demand. Linear regression was used to analyze CAP workforce trends from 2024 to 2037.
resultsThe national supply of CAP physicians was projected to increase from 2024 to 2037 (10,990 to 12,500, 13.7% increase, P < 0.001) and was outpaced by status quo demand (14,440 to 19,280, 33.5% increase, P < 0.001) and improved access demand (20,610 to 27,960, 35.7% increase, P < 0.001) for CAP physicians. As a result, CAP workforce adequacy was projected to significantly decrease under the status quo (76.1% to 64.8%, P < 0.001) and improved access scenarios (53.3% to 44.7%, P < 0.001). By 2037, the states with the lowest CAP workforce adequacy were Indiana (27.1%), Tennessee (26.5%), and Idaho (14.3%). CAP ranked towards the worst among all specialties under the improved access scenario in 2024 and 2037.
conclusionsCritical workforce shortages are anticipated in CAP, which were greatest in certain states. Accelerated efforts are needed to improve the adequacy of the US CAP workforce.
