Consolidating Interprofessional Learning Using an Escape Room in a Briefcase Activity in a Rural Setting.

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
objectiveThe Escape Room in a Briefcase (ERiB) is a highly portable activity for students to observe and practice interprofessional practice competencies. The ERiB was incorporated into a University Department of Rural Health's Student Workshop in Interprofessional Education (SWIPE) to facilitate delivery of effective interprofessional education (IPE) to students on placement in rural and regional locations. The evaluation aimed to understand the students' gaming experience and improvement in understanding of interprofessional competencies and to gain feedback about the ERiB activity.
settingHealth facility-based education rooms across six different locations in the Darling Downs and Southwest Queensland.
participantsEighty-seven university students who were undertaking a clinical placement for a health degree in the Darling Downs or Southwest Queensland participated in one of 13 SWIPE sessions over a 2-year period.
designThe research utilised an interpretivist approach to qualitative design, with data collected via semi-structured focus groups with students after the ERiB activity.
resultsAnalysis revealed four key themes: frustration during teamwork, collaborative capability, situational humility and intrinsic motivation, which were interpreted as core capabilities underpinning interprofessional practice.
conclusionThe ERiB activity is an exciting and innovative method that provides IPE opportunities for students on placement in any location. This interactive activity appears to succeed as an effective IPE tool, facilitating skills in communication, teamwork and collaboration.
