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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate an interprofessional education (IPE) programme including skill training and case presentation for dental and nursing students. MATERIALS AND
methodsSixty-four third-year dental and 94 fourth-year nursing students were included. They participated in an IPE programme consisting of three parts: joint lectures, skill training sessions and case presentations. After the lectures, they performed student-on-student oral healthcare and nursing care skill training in mixed professional groups. After the session, the mixed professional groups presented to other groups an allocated case of oral healthcare collaboration between dentists and nurses for a patient. Before and after the programmes, questionnaires regarding perceptions of healthcare team and oral healthcare collaboration were distributed to the participants to compare the changes in their perceptions.
resultsThe comparison involved data from 59 dental students and 92 nursing students who completed both questionnaires. The perceptions of their ability to communicate positively with other people, the differences in the approaches to nursing care between different health professionals, their ability to consider a holistic approach for older patients, the roles of other professionals and the need for multiprofessional collaboration significantly improved among the dental and nursing students after the programmes. Additionally, after the programmes, the dental students' understanding of oral healthcare collaboration in the cases they presented significantly improved to the same level as that of the nursing students.
conclusionInterprofessional education programmes for dental and nursing students may effectively improve their understanding of healthcare team and oral healthcare collaboration with patients.
