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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate which basic psychological needs profile, based on different levels of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, could exhibit higher student engagement and favorable attitudes toward interprofessional education (IPE).

methodsA total of 341 undergraduate and postgraduate health and social care students enrolled in an IPE simulation participated in this study. Data were analyzed using a person-centered approach using a two-step cluster analysis, multiple analysis of variance, and bootstrapped independent t-tests. The participants completed the self-report scales such as the basic psychological needs in general questionnaire, interprofessional attitudes scale, and engagement versus disaffection with learning scale.

resultsTwo basic psychological needs profiles emerged from the cluster analysis: a high basic psychological needs profile (i.e., high autonomy, moderately high competence, and very high relatedness) and a low basic psychological needs profile (i.e., low autonomy, moderately low competence, and very low relatedness). Students with high basic psychological needs profiles (n = 140; 41%) had more positive attitudes about IPE and were more behaviorally and emotionally engaged in participating in IPE tasks than students with low basic psychological needs profiles (n = 201; 59%).

conclusionsFindings suggest that health and social care students' engagement and attitudes toward interprofessional education differed based on their basic psychological needs profiles. Health professions educators can leverage students' basic psychological needs in designing interventions and simulation activities to promote students' engagement and collaborative outcomes in IPE. Enhancing students' basic psychological needs could be crucial in fostering greater behavioral and emotional engagement and positive attitudes in participating in IPE.
