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

backgroundTraining of Trainers Program that combines both theoretical and practical components and effectively enhance educators’ competencies in interprofessional education are rarely encountered. This study aimed to design and evaluate a Training of Trainers Program in Interprofessional Education intended to enhance participants’ awareness, knowledge, and self-perceived competencies related to the design, implementation, and improvements of interprofessional education practices among healthcare educators.

methodsThe study was planned and conducted between June 2023 and March 2024. The two-phase Training of Trainers Program (TTP) was implemented between February 20 and 24, 2024. The first phase consisted of three-day online interactive theoretical training. Two-day face-to-face practical training was the second phase of the TTP which included interactive studies with large groups and practical activities in professional skills rooms with small groups. The practical training was based on various scenarios created by the researchers themselves. Following the TTP, all participants were assessed using a demographic data form, reflection assignment, group assignment, and multiple-choice questions.

resultsThe TTP was found to be effective and participants benefited from the TTP. The TTP significantly increased participants’ competencies across all measured dimensions, including roles-responsibilities; team and teamwork; IPE communication; lifelong learner; collaborative leadership; relationships with patients and recognizing their needs; and ethics (p = 0.001). Participants’ responses to the satisfaction questionnaire showed that the program generally provided high satisfaction. High scores were given to areas, such as the enrollment process, training content, effectiveness of the trainers, and overall program satisfaction. Participants also highlighted the program’s comprehensive content, applied teaching strategies, and trainer competencies, while only one participant suggested improving time management.

conclusionThe TTP provide important improvement in participants’ competencies The TTP, which was developed by blending both online and face-to-face education, is a successful program in both developing interprofessional competences and reaching the goals.
