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

The complexity of modern healthcare continues to evolve, emphasizing the need for comprehensive collaboration among professionals from diverse backgrounds, patients, and their families to integrate care. Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) have emerged as an opportunity to advance interprofessional collaborative practice. However, despite their growing prevalence in clinical and educational contexts, a systematic understanding of their potential as team-learning activity remains limited. To optimize their transformative potential across both contexts, it is critical to identify factors that support team learning and to explore how MDTMs can promote interprofessional development at team and individual levels. This paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding team learning in MDTMs from an ecological-dynamical perspective and offers a constraints-led approach for the purposeful design and implementation of simulated MDTMs as team-learning activity in continuous health profession education. We analyze constraints at three interdependent system levels: 1) healthcare and faculty context, 2) work teams, and 3) team members, and examine how they shape opportunities for team learning. By selecting, designing, and varying relevant constraints, educators can enhance simulated MDTMs as team-learning activity, ensuring that learners share information, co-construct meaning, and engage in constructive conflict. This framework offers actionable principles for backward design, enabling educators to tailor simulated MDTMs to real-world complexity and variability. By presenting an ecological-dynamical framework and a constraints-led approach, this paper contributes to the discourse on interprofessional collaborative practice and education, leveraging the transformative potential of MDTMs to enhance integrated care, foster shared cognition, and support the development of interprofessional competence.
