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

A central approach to achieving high-quality neurologic care is to reduce the burden on providers in accessing services needed to achieve this level of care. Neurology-based practices across the continuum (solo, multispecialty, hospital, or health system-based) have adopted different methods to mitigate the impact of gatekeeper methods of prior authorization and related mechanisms. We discuss ways to partner with payers through innovative Gold Carding programs that reduce the burden of gatekeeper mechanisms on neurology providers, thereby allowing them to consistently focus their efforts in the provision of high-quality neurologic care.
