1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

On March 4, 2022, the American Medical Association (AMA) released a statement in response to the Biden administration's plan of a test-to-treat plan allowing pharmacists to serve as locations to test and provide prescriptions for oral antiviral therapies for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after a positive test result. The statement by AMA contradicts and underrepresents the impact pharmacists have on clinical practice. Pharmacists have been a crucial part of many efforts including mass vaccination efforts and furnishing of prescriptions for other complex disease states (e.g., pre-exposure prophylaxis and postexposure prophylaxis therapy). Furthermore, health systems have proven that novel approaches to mitigate operational and clinical barriers to COVID-19 therapies may offset the increased demand needed by communities. Herein, this commentary will discuss a viewpoint and counterpoint to the statement put out by AMA, with a focus on pharmacists.
