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

backgroundAlthough on the rise, there are still insufficient Interprofessional Education (IPE) learning opportunities for healthcare students and young professionals. Thus, the Swiss Health Alliance for Interprofessional Education (SHAPED, www.shaped-ip.ch ) has developed a new IPE activity: the Interprofessional (IP) Pub Quiz. This study assessed the pilot-implementation of said IP Pub Quiz at Bern University of Applied Sciences during fall semesters 2023 and 2024.

methodsHealthcare students in their 4th and 9th semester from nursing, physiotherapy, midwifery, nutrition & dietetics, and pharmacy were divided into IP groups of 5-7 students and took part in the 90-minute IP Pub Quiz. Questions were designed to not solely query profession-specific knowledge, but to hone IP clinical reasoning. To quantify the impact of said IP learning activity on participants, the Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised (SPICE-R) instrument was used in a pre-post design.

resultsFrom 333 pre- and 216 post-questionnaires 197 pairs could be identified and included. The overall mean improved significantly (t(197) = -7.42, p < .001, 95% CI [-0.21, -0.12]) from pre- (3.93 points; SD ± 0.38) to post- IP Pub Quiz (4.09 points; SD ± 0.43). The improvement was greatest for the factors roles & responsibilities and teamwork. No difference based on occupational group, gender or semester could be found. DISCUSSION &

conclusionParticipating healthcare students showed a positive perception of IPE and collaborative practice which was further improved through the IP Pub Quiz. Limitations include the lower response rate in the post-questionnaire (non-response bias) and the missing control-group (time effect).
