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

Background: The International Collaboration and Exchange Program (ICEP) and other similar exchange programs can play a crucial role in preparing future health profession students to become global healthcare leaders through virtual exchanges and in-person academic immersion travels (AIT). Recognizing the need to enhance interpersonal skills, the traditional classroom style of teaching may require reassessment. Our study aims to explore ICEP's impact on participants, specifically their professional identity (PI) levels, to shed light on the effects of virtual and hybrid exchange programs. Methods: Health profession students from 20 universities across four continents ( Results: Analyzing the group of students before (PI = 3.63 (1.52)) and after (PI = 3.97 (1.48)) completing two semesters of virtual exchanges within ICEP revealed that students exhibited higher senses of PI upon the program's completion ( Conclusion: Through the exchanges facilitated by ICEP, students had the opportunity to reinforce their sense of PI. Such exchange programs warrant further exploration for their potential to innovatively integrate professional skills development into health profession education-a valuable aspect in shaping a well-rounded provider.
