Evaluation of the attitudes of dental students about interprofessional learning using the RIPLS questionnaire.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the attitude of Iranian dental students towards interprofessional education (IPE). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on a diverse group of 235 third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-year dental students from Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2020-2021. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPES) was used for data collection. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by an expert panel (n = 4) and the content validity ratio (CVR) calculation. Its face validity was evaluated by administering it to 26 dental students and calculating CVR. The effects of demographic variables (gender, marital status, academic year, previous history of filling out the questionnaire, and participation in IPE courses) on the attitude of students were analyzed by a linear regression model. The final score of students was then calculated.
resultsDemographic variables had a significant effect on the total score (P < 0.05), and females, singles, and senior students acquired a higher score. The mean score was also significantly higher in those with previous experience filling out a similar questionnaire and participating in IPE courses (P < 0.05). The mean score of students' readiness for IPE was 70.19 ± 14.29%, and the mean acquired score of 88.1% was higher than the optimal threshold of 60.
conclusionThe study's findings underscore the positive attitude of dental students towards IPE, providing strong support for including and implementing this educational model in the dental curriculum.
