Pharmacology for physician associate programmes: a collaborative, flexible and responsive approach to curriculum design.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
There are more than 2,000 physician associates (PAs) in the UK working in general practice and secondary care, and that number is growing. The NHS estimates that there will be over 5,900 PAs in the UK by the end of 2023. Currently, PAs in the UK are unable to prescribe medication due to the absence of statutory regulation and the necessary prescribing legislation. The Department of Health and Social Care, with the support of the four UK governments, recently announced the introduction of statutory regulation of medical associate professionals, which includes PAs. The General Medical Council will be the statutory regulator. A working group is now considering prescribing authority, scope of practice, education training and delivery, and how this will be achieved. At St George's, University of London, we teach applied pharmacology as part of the core curriculum for PAs.
