Interprofessional Education in Dentistry: Exploring the Current Status and Barriers in the United States and Canada.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Interprofessional education (IPE) is defined as the collaborative learning process involving two or more healthcare professions to enhance teamwork and patient care. While the dental profession plays a key role in patient health, its integration into IPE remains underreported. This review examines the current status of IPE in undergraduate and graduate dental curricula, focusing on barriers such as time constraints, curriculum gaps, and limited faculty engagement. Through a review of the literature, including surveys and studies, findings suggest that while IPE has been increasingly incorporated into dental programs, challenges such as inadequate curricular integration and resource constraints hinder its full potential. Moreover, although dental students express positive perceptions toward IPE, translating these into actionable outcomes remains a challenge. The review also highlights the need for innovations, including online learning and faculty training, to overcome these barriers. Recommendations include integrating IPE into clinical training, improving faculty participation, and leveraging technology to foster collaboration and ultimately improve patient care outcomes.
