Racial Differences in Work Relative Value Units for Outpatient Pediatric Dermatology Visits.
Article in JID innovations : skin science from molecules to population health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Measures of clinical productivity may tilt financial incentives toward providing care to specific patient populations, reinforcing inequitable care. Race, sex, and age have been shown to influence differences in work relative value units (wRVUs) generated during adult dermatology encounters. We sought to identify the association of patient race and sex with wRVUs generated by outpatient pediatric dermatology encounters. A total of 22,434 encounters among 10,063 unique patients were included; most encounters were with female (12,639 [56.3%]) and White (13,036 [58.1%]) individuals. The mean (SD) wRVUs per encounter was 1.57 (0.76). Visits with Asian patients, Black patients, and patients of other races generated 0.21 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.16-0.25), 0.19 (95% CI = 0.16-0.22), and 0.14 (95% CI = 0.10-0.17) fewer wRVUs per encounter, respectively, than pediatric outpatient dermatology visits with White patients (
