Health professional students' perceptions and preparedness for interprofessional education: a multicentric analysis across five countries.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Interprofessional education (IPE) prepares health professional students for teamwork in clinical practice. The success of IPE depends on students' readiness and acceptance of interprofessional learning. This study aimed to assess the perceptions and readiness for IPE among health professional students across universities in five countries, using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 335 students from health professional programs at universities in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Nepal, India, and Pakistan. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) questionnaire was used to collect data prior to any structured workshop activities, and results represent baseline perceptions of IPE. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare groups. Results: The study found significant differences ( Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for targeted IPE initiatives that are adapted to different academic levels and contexts. Integrating IPE early in healthcare curricula is critical for enhancing collaborative skills and improving patient outcomes. These results have important implications for curriculum developers and policymakers aiming to foster interprofessional collaboration in healthcare education.
