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
Background: Interprofessional collaboration supports improved patient care and outcomes. Interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP) in prelicensure education promotes professional/interprofessional socialization. Within IPECP, students gain understanding of their professional role and begin developing an interprofessional identity, including collaborative skills, attitudes, and behaviours. IPECP literature in oral health education is limited. It is not well understood how oral health students are involved in IPECP and prepared for collaborative practice. Objective: To assess the literature on IPECP within oral health education and identify IPECP models and characteristics of experiences enabling professional/interprofessional socialization, interprofessional identity development, and readiness for collaborative practice. Methods: Guided by JBI methodology, the research team searched CINAHL, DOSS, MEDLINE, and APAPsycInfo for peer-reviewed articles on IPECP models in prelicensure education of oral health students. Articles (N = 321) were screened by 2 reviewers for title/abstract, followed by full text. Twenty-eight articles were included. Results: Single and multiformat IPECP models were identified including workshops, case studies, simulation, and clinical experiences. Characteristics of IPECP experiences were identified and categorized as: 1) learning from and about others; 2) establishing social connections; 3) authenticity of experiences; and 4) consistent socialization and exposure. However, challenges for IPECP in oral health education persist, including siloed education and a lack of intentional IPECP curriculum. Conclusion: Increased integration of oral health students into health professions IPECP and consistent exposure throughout programs is needed. IPECP curriculum must enable all students to explore their professional contributions to interprofessional teams. IPECP for developing an interprofessional identity in oral health students remains understudied; longitudinal and qualitative analyses are needed.
