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

backgroundFor the past 15 years, an innovative curriculum named Formation PARTENAIRES has been advancing patient partnership in interprofessional education (IPE) at Université de Montréal. The aim of this article is to describe, from the perspective of patients themselves, the changing role of patients within this training programme. APPROACH: The PARTENAIRES programme is a mandatory undergraduate IPE curriculum implemented across 13 healthcare and social services disciplines, involving over 5000 students and 125 patient partners annually. The programme's evolution has been marked by increasing patient leadership and is now co-chaired by a patient partner and a healthcare professional, with patients involved at all levels (design, delivery, assessment and improvement). EVALUATION: Key developments in patients' relationships with other stakeholders involved in the PARTENAIRES programme are highlighted. With students, patients have transitioned from providing one-off, idealised testimonials to sustaining reflexive, real conversations that bridge the student-patient gap. With academic disciplines, patient partners that were initially paired based on matching with their lived experience are now paired more flexibly to foster a universal educational contribution and support interdisciplinary learning. With clinical co-facilitators, the patients' role has evolved from reactive participation during workshops to proactive co-construction, promoting the democratisation of exchanges and shared responsibility for the programme's educational content. IMPLICATIONS: Sustained institutional trust and long-term involvement have enabled patient partners to become central co-creators in the PARTENAIRES curriculum. Patients' transversal role fosters innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration, illustrating that significant cultural change in IPE emerges through openness, adaptability and the time to grow together.
