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

backgroundDespite high disease burden and heightened suicide risk associated with psychosis, psychosis education is lacking in healthcare curricula, potentially hindering students' willingness, and confidence to provide psychosis care as future healthcare professionals. This study aimed to co-design and content validate psychosis care assessment material for medical, pharmacy, nursing, and occupational therapy curricula.

methodsA nominal group technique (NGT) meeting was conducted to generate and rank ideas among people with lived/living experience of mental illness. Prioritised ideas were used to create simulated role-play scenarios for each discipline, by discipline experts. The developed scenarios underwent content validation by content experts, whereby the content validity index was computed for relevance and clarity.

resultsThe four highest ranked ideas based on rank scores and accumulated rank score sums were selected during the NGT meeting and used to guide the development of four role-play scenarios focusing on antipsychotic medication side effects, suicide risk, paranoia and delusions, and visual hallucinations. Discipline experts created scenario outlines and rubrics for each selected idea. Content validity indices of all items were deemed satisfactory, ranging from 0.8 to 1. Written feedback for each role-play scenario was considered and scenarios/rubrics were modified accordingly.

conclusionOverall, this study provides a framework for partnering with mental health stakeholders to co-design and validate psychosis care assessment material for healthcare curricula. Through the integral contribution of people with lived/living experience and clinicians, authentic scenarios which reflect real-life practice have been developed. Future research is required to evaluate the newly developed materials in educational setting.
