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

introductionThis paper evaluates a simulated interprofessional education (IPE) session that brought together dietetic and acting students to explore the development of communication skills and collaborative practice through role-play consultations. Designed to foster experiential learning, the session enabled dietetics students to practice patient-centred communication while acting students portrayed patients based on character briefs and offered feedback from a service-user perspective.

methodsThe session aimed to enhance empathy, rapport-building, and professional adaptability across both disciplines. Evaluation data were collected via a structured questionnaire completed by 17 dietetic and 5 acting students, assessing areas including skill development, interprofessional collaboration, and session impact.

resultsResults indicated high satisfaction, with 100% of participants rating the session positively and reporting gains in communication, teamwork, and understanding of interdisciplinary roles. Both groups valued the opportunity to apply their respective skills in a realistic, low-risk setting, highlighting the benefits of including nontraditional disciplines in IPE. Recommendations for future iterations include expanding scenario diversity and providing more time for practice and feedback.

conclusionOverall, the session was found to be an effective and engaging method of supporting communication competence and mutual learning between healthcare and performing arts students.
