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
Aim: To examine within-group pre-post changes associated with a structured interprofessional education (IPE) intervention among occupational therapy (OT), mental health social work (MHSW), and nursing (NS) students in Japan, with a focus on psychiatric discharge planning for long-term inpatients with schizophrenia. Methods: We used a one-group pretest-posttest (quasi-experimental) design. Senior-year OT, MHSW, and NS students formed interprofessional teams to develop discharge support plans for a simulated long-term psychiatric inpatient. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS; Results: RIPLS and IEPS scores increased significantly from pre to post across professions, indicating within-group improvements in interprofessional readiness and collaborative perceptions. On RIPLS, gains were largest among OT students (small time × profession effect), whereas on IEPS, the time × profession interaction was not significant, and profession differences attenuated after baseline adjustment in ANCOVA. Qualitative feedback suggested a clearer understanding of each profession's role in discharge planning. Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence suggesting the potential value of a structured IPE program for enhancing interprofessional attitudes and competencies in the context of psychiatric discharge planning. Given the one-group pre-post design, causal inference is limited; controlled, multi-institutional, and longitudinal studies are needed to validate and extend these findings.
