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
Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) occurs when learners from multiple disciplines collaborate to learn with, and from, each other. The goal of IPE is to encourage learners to seek interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in future practice, consequently improving patient health outcomes. However, implementing IPE within existing curricula is challenging due to constraints based on location and timing. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether IPE could be delivered effectively through a virtual learning platform. Methods: Learners from 12 different health professions across three universities were invited to participate in a virtual IPE workshop. Following the workshop, learners' attitudes were measured using an online survey. Areas such as learning outcome and effectiveness of the virtual platform were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Average responses were calculated from response frequencies. Three open-ended items were analyzed using content analysis for themes and reported as response frequencies. Results: A total of 1051/1345 (78%) surveys were completed. Overall, learners indicated improved understanding of their own and others' roles plus various scopes of practice and increased confidence in communication with learners from other health professions. Learners also found IPE Day to be a meaningful learning experience and provided constructive feedback for future iterations of the event. Conclusion: Healthcare learners were favorable toward the virtual delivery of IPC educational events. These findings therefore support the deliverance of future IPE activities between rural and urban healthcare learners and may demonstrate an avenue to bridge urban-rural healthcare gaps by supporting interprofessional collaboration across geographies.
