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

objectiveThis study aimed to explore the value of interprofessional learning in developing interprofessional relationships, as perceived by medical students participating as simulated patients for chiropractic students.

methodsA cross-sectional study of university medical students, using an online survey and interview sessions, was conducted at the International Medical University, Malaysia, from July 2020 to October 2020. Only students who had previously participated as a simulated patient within a chiropractic examination setting were included; this involved interacting with chiropractic students in observed structured clinical examinations, including history taking, physical examination or motion palpation, and adjustment setups for end-of-semester examinations. Survey responses focused on themes of interprofessional learning, with values of reduction of prejudice, increase in understanding, and improved collaborative attitude. These responses were grouped as positive, neutral, or negative based on Likert scores. Interview responses were analyzed and categorized according to the survey themes.

resultsFifteen male medical students aged 23 to 26 years completed the questionnaire and interview. Respondents perceived that their experience helped clarify doubts on the scope of chiropractic (66.7%), the role of a chiropractor (80%), and chiropractic professional practices (80%). A majority of respondents (80%) felt that being a simulated patient increased their willingness to learn collaboratively with chiropractic students. Most (93.3%) responded positively to being more willing to work with other health care professionals.

conclusionThis study showed an overall positive perception among medical students of developing interprofessional relationships with chiropractors and other health care professionals. The results suggest that opportunities for interprofessional learning between chiropractic and other health care programs may assist with the long-term goal of promoting patient-centered care.
