Perceptions of interprofessional collaboration in education of dentists and dental hygienists and the impact on dental practice in the Netherlands: A qualitative study.
Article in European journal of dental education : official journal of the Association for Dental Education in Europe, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
introductionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of dentists and dental hygienists regarding their own and each other's roles in interprofessional collaboration following a clinical interprofessional educational programme (CIEP) as part of their graduate programme at Radboud university medical center (Radboudumc) and HAN University of Applied Sciences (HAN UAS), Nijmegen, the Netherlands, respectively. Perceptions were obtained at the end of their study (2014) and two years after their graduation (2016).
methodsA qualitative study was conducted using a questionnaire with open-ended questions. Sixty-two dentists and thirty-eight dental hygienists were invited. Theory-based analyses were applied in combination with principles of Grounded Theory to analyse and synthesise the collected data from the open-ended questions.
resultsAt baseline, 100% responded. At follow-up, thirty-two dentists (51.6%) and twenty-six dental hygienists (68.4%) responded; twenty-seven dentists (43.5%) and eighteen dental hygienists (47.4%) were included. Many similarities were found between baseline and follow-up regarding perceptions of each other's expertise and responsibility, learning from and with each other, and the behaviour of students and the "novice" professionals in interprofessional collaboration. Both dentists and dental hygienists experienced the CIEP as useful for interprofessional collaboration. The "novice" dentists and dental hygienists indicated that in dental practices interprofessional collaboration was less common.
conclusionThe CIEP resulted in more understanding amongst dentists and dental hygienists with regard to interprofessional roles, but in practice the "novice" dentists and dental hygienists face difficulties in applying the interprofessional roles.
