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
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a novel interprofessional education (IPE) curriculum on residents' knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to interprofessional collaboration. Methods We implemented an innovative IPE prospective curriculum in our large academic internal medicine (IM) training program (2022-2023) for a cohort of first-year IM residents. The program aimed to enhance the knowledge of six healthcare professions (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, respiratory therapy, registered nursing, and registered dieticians) while fostering interprofessional teamwork and communication. The curriculum was delivered over two days and included experiential learning and constructive small group debriefing sessions, whereby participants reflected on key learning points. A retrospective pre-post assessment instrument was implemented to assess self-reported knowledge, skill, and attitude changes using a five-point Likert scale. This design was chosen to reduce response shift bias. Success was defined as more than 50% of trainees showing improvement when comparing self-assessed scores before and after the educational experience. This proportion was chosen as it meant the majority of participants showed improvement in each metric. A total cohort of 101 residents participated in 2022 and 2023. Results Comparative pre-post analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the knowledge of all six professions (with knowledge of occupational therapy showing the most improvement in approximately 98% of residents), effectiveness of working on an interprofessional team, effectiveness of communication, and overall effectiveness as physicians. Conclusion This initiative can be adapted in graduate medical education (GME) training programs that seek to improve and formalize IPE.
