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

Following the recent expansion of the Open Payments program to include advanced-practice clinicians (APCs) as covered recipients, we characterized the geographical distribution of general industry payments to nurse practitioners and physician assistants using the Open Payments database. The number and dollar value of payments, as well as the average and median payment amount earned per provider, varied by state. However, a significantly higher proportion of APCs received payments in states with more restrictive scope-of-practice laws. Understanding how and why payments to APCs vary by state can elucidate how industry-APC relationships are related to changing scope-of-practice and state-specific transparency/disclosure laws, informing future legislation.
