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

backgroundPrimary healthcare units (PHCUs) in Austria play a crucial role in providing regionally tailored, high-quality care through interprofessional teams. Barriers, such as limited training and unclear roles, hinder effective interprofessional collaboration (IPC). Additionally, healthcare and social professionals (HCSPs) in primary healthcare (PHC) face a rise in patients with non-communicable diseases and increasing climate-related challenges, underscoring the need for education addressing IPC and sustainability to build resilient healthcare.

aimThis paper presents the protocol of the REALISE study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a didactic concept integrating collaborative, digital, and sustainability skills within multimodal training modules (including simulations).

methodsIn this prospective trial, HCSPs working in PHC and students in their final year of education in related professions are recruited to participate in interprofessional training modules, which take place on four days within a month in person and with additional e-learning elements between those days. The modules consist of didactic elements on IPC and sustainability, simulation scenarios with acting patients, and immersive virtual reality scenarios. The primary outcomes assess IPC by utilizing the Teamwork Assessment Scale, the Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (9a/9b), and the Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey. Secondary outcomes focus on sustainability and environmental awareness, as well as the organization and structure of the training modules. DISCUSSION: The findings of this study will demonstrate the effect of proprietary training modules on IPC and will inform on the integration of respective modules into standard curricula and continuing educational programmes at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
