Patient-centered interprofessional education in cancer care: a systematic scoping review.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundCancer remains a critical global health issue requiring a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach for effective treatment. Interprofessional education (IPE) is essential for overcoming barriers to collaboration among healthcare professionals and fostering efficient teamwork in cancer care.
objectiveThis systematic scoping review aims to explore the role of IPE in enhancing interprofessional collaboration within cancer care by mapping and synthesizing the implementation, impact, and evaluation strategies of patient-centered IPE programs in this field.
methodsA comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases, including CENTRAL, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Scopus, and Web of Science, from their inception to January 2024. Grey literature was also sought through online sources and by contacting relevant organizations. Data were extracted and synthesized narratively following a standardized protocol.
resultsSeven studies met the inclusion criteria, highlighting various educational methods such as web-based platforms, face-to-face interactions, experiential learning, and simulation-based training. Patient-centered IPE programs notably improved interprofessional collaboration, communication, knowledge, and self-confidence among healthcare professionals. Additionally, several programs led to concrete changes in clinical practice and institutional policies. Evaluation strategies primarily utilized established frameworks such as Kirkpatrick's model and Moore's outcome levels to assess multiple layers of outcomes, including participant satisfaction, knowledge acquisition, competence, and behavior change.
conclusionsThe findings indicate that patient-centered IPE programs effectively promote interprofessional collaboration and enhance clinical competencies in cancer care. Future research should focus on long-term evaluations, address systemic barriers, expand geographical scope, and utilize standardized evaluation frameworks to further improve the design and implementation of patient-centered IPE programs in cancer care.
