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

Since its implementation in 2006, the New York State Clinical Laboratory Practice Act has licensed 30,287 professionals. As of 2024, 56 disciplinary actions (0.18%) have been recorded, mostly due to criminal convictions (64.3%), particularly DWI, followed by fraudulent applications (23.2%) and workplace violations (12.5%). Males comprised 57% of the disciplined population, 66.7% of those fined, and 78.6% of the total fines paid. Most significant disciplinary outcome included 22 individuals (39.2%) that lost their licenses through annulment (n=13), revocation (n=2), surrender (n=5), and actual suspension (n=2). Laboratory disciplinary outcomes include 3 license surrenders and 1 actual suspension of at least two years (57.1% of workplace actions). Among cases triggered by criminal conviction, 2 licenses were surrendered and 2 revoked (11.1%). The data indicate rare but patterned misconduct, with notable gender disparities in penalties and license terminations.
