What do physician associates think about independent prescribing?
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Physician associates (PAs) are currently unable to prescribe in the UK due to the absence of statutory regulation and prescribing legislation. This is likely to change with the introduction of regulation by the General Medical Council (GMC) set to start from 2023. Currently, there are working groups looking into what needs to be done to enable them to prescribe. In this paper, we explored the views of PAs that qualified in the UK on prescribing and ordering investigations via an online questionnaire. Almost all PAs would prefer to be able to prescribe and request radiological investigations. Inability to perform these basic duties has a negative impact on patient care, patient flow, PAs' contribution to healthcare and career progression.
