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

introductionAs care needs increase in complexity, a shift to people-centred, integrated care is required to meet the full range of health and social care needs of clients. However, limited opportunities exist for care providers to develop interprofessional competencies as part of pre-licensing and/or continuing education. New learning models, such as case-based learning (CBL), that facilitate the development of interprofessional competencies and are aligned with practice realities of providers are needed. This scoping review will collate and codify leading practices and knowledge gaps in the development and delivery of CBL programmes in pre-licensing and continuing education for health and social care providers. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus, Scopus, ERIC Institute of Education Sciences, PsycINFO and Education Source will be searched for peer-reviewed literature; Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations and Web of Science will be searched for grey literature. Reference lists of full-text scholarly sources, key journals and authors will be searched manually. Study selection and extraction will be conducted by two independent reviewers. English sources published between 2014 and 2024 that discuss CBL epistemologies, characteristics, delivery mechanisms, programme limitations and/or programme evaluation in health and social care pre-licensing and/or professional training will be included. Data will be analysed using directed content analysis and synthesised as a narrative summary. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This scoping review protocol was reviewed by the Southlake Health Research Ethics Board and received ethics exemption. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication, conferences, professional networks and social media, and used to inform the development of an evidence-based training programme for health and social care providers.
