Comparing and Contrasting Professional Identity Formation Among Health Professional Students.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This project aims to review and compare the professional identity formation (PIF) of medical, dental, nursing, and pharmacy students while analyzing the role of interprofessional education (IPE) in this journey. Our medical research librarian conducted a literature review. Papers were selected based on the inclusion criteria developed by authors for PIF and IPE topics, which were then stratified for each health program of interest: medicine, dentistry, nursing, and pharmacy. The IPE core competencies were analyzed to understand the effect of IPE on each respective group of health professional students. Among all four major health professions, trust, collaboration, responsibility, accountability, communication, and empathy are key values within PIF. Trust, collaboration, and empathy were also regarded as core values in developing professionalism. Medical and dental students placed greater emphasis on responsibility and accountability regarding PIF. IPE played a crucial role in PIF for all students as values, teamwork, roles, and responsibilities were emphasized among each healthcare discipline of interest. This review provides significant information regarding which characteristics are emphasized for professional development across healthcare training programs. Future research to explore how certain characteristics and values influence healthcare as a whole is crucial. Investigating various influences on PIF outcomes is warranted for enhancing professional training programs and promoting interprofessional collaboration for better healthcare delivery.
