The doctorate in clinical laboratory sciences: current status and outcomes.
Article in Academic pathology. 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
The Doctor of Clinical Laboratory Sciences (DCLS) degree was implemented at the University of Texas Medical Branch in 2016 with the goal of training laboratory professionals who can improve patient outcomes by participating as part of the healthcare team, providing input regarding the use of laboratory testing in clinical decision-making, and optimizing the utilization of laboratory tests. The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB)-DCLS program presented data regarding the implementation of the program from 2016 to 2021. This follow-up study presents the DCLS program outcomes to date. A DCLS alumni, clinical supervisor, and employer surveys were distributed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and explore the role and patient-care impact of DCLS graduates. The majority of UTMB DCLS alumni secured employment before graduation or shortly thereafter and currently work in academic medical centers and reference laboratories as medical or laboratory directors. Clinicians rate the perceived contribution of DCLS graduates to clinical practice to be highly beneficial, and employers indicate a significant impact of DCLS graduates on patient outcomes. The results presented in this study demonstrate the active participation of DCLS in the healthcare team, thus supporting the need to invest in academic DCLS programs to further the growth of this advanced practice degree.
