Using the modified Delphi technique to develop a framework for interprofessional education during international electives in health professions training institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa.

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
Background: International electives provide a learning platform where interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) skills can be cultivated. However, hardly any frameworks to guide the implementation of interprofessional education (IPE) during international electives, especially in the context of low-income settings have been published. To address this gap, this study used the modified Delphi approach to develop an IPE framework guide for international electives to be used by health professions training institutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: A rapid literature review and a study among students and faculty in four African health professional training institutions were done to inform the process. This was followed by the modified Delphi technique that used three Delphi rounds with a panel of eight experts to build consensus on the final framework for IPE during international electives. The level of consensus was set at ≥70% on each of the statements in all rounds. Results: Out of the 52 statements in round 1 ( Conclusion: The modified Delphi technique was an adequate approach to aid the development of an IPE framework to guide implementation during international electives in various health professional training institutions.
