Building a Team-Based Gastroenterology Practice With Advanced Practice Providers.
Article in Gastroenterology & hepatology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The use of advanced practice providers (APPs), such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, has grown substantially in gastroenterology practices in the United States. The first formal training programs appeared in the mid-1960s; however, incorporation of APPs into gastroenterology practices occurred sporadically until the early 1990s, when several large practices began utilizing APPs in both outpatient and inpatient environments. Over the next 20 years, APPs became increasingly more common. In hospital settings, they provide continuity of care, especially for practices that rotate physicians into hospital services on a periodic basis. Efficient use of APPs frees physicians to focus on new patients, procedures, and complex chronic care management. APPs who have independent, appropriately managed schedules can generate revenue that covers salary and benefits. Billing and coding for APPs can be complex, but once regulatory issues are understood, these aspects become straightforward and can be easily applied to gastroenterology practices. There is an ongoing need for more formal training and onboarding resources, which could be met by national gastroenterology and hepatology societies. This article reviews the various ways in which APPs can be incorporated into gastroenterology and hepatology care.
