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: While interprofessional education (IPE) has become commonplace, incorporation of motivational interviewing (MI) using standardized patients (SPs) has been rare, particularly use of a multi-pronged strategy of engagement among pharmacy and physician assistant students. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of an IPE MI training intervention that employed students in teams interacting with standardized patients (SPs); specifically, the intervention impact on MI self-efficacy, professional identity formation (PIF) and attitudes toward interprofessional care. Methods: First-year PharmD students (PGY1) and second-year physician assistant students (PA-S2) underwent a three-hour didactic class session featuring lecture and video simulations followed by an activity where teams of 6-8 students interacted with 5 different standardized patients (SPs). The educational intervention also featured a group debriefing session and written reflection prompted by answering several questions about how they fared with the SPs. Students' completed pre- and post- intervention surveys featuring standardized instrumentation measuring self-efficacy to engage in MI, professional identity formation, and attitudes toward interprofessional education. Results: Students did not achieve substantive gains in MI self-efficacy, yet reported significant improvements in professional identity formation and attitudes toward interprofessional education. Qualitative comments from the post-intervention survey were positive for interprofessional integration and team dynamics ( Conclusions: An IPE event featuring lecture, interaction with SPs, and an opportunity for mutual self-reflection on one another's roles in patient care might be beneficial to include in pharmacy and PA curriculum, even while such endeavors might be further enhanced using a longitudinal approach.
