Comparison of prescribing patterns of non-physician clinicians and dermatologists in the Medicare population.

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
Non-physician clinicians (NPCs) are playing an increasing role in dermatologic patient care. This study expands upon existing workforce assessments of dermatology NPCs through the use of publicly-available Medicare datasets to better clarify prescribing patterns among independently-billing dermatology NPCs. The findings demonstrate prescribing similarities between NPCs and dermatologists for most medications, including biologic and immunosuppressive medications, although with higher use of oral prednisone, gabapentin, and hydroxyzine among NPCs. Dermatologists more frequently utilized high-potency topical steroids. These data provide initial insights into NPC prescribing patterns and should motivate further study of the identified differences and potential implications for patient care.
