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
Aim: This study developed and validated the Transdisciplinary Approach Scale (TDAS), the first instrument specifically designed to assess transdisciplinary collaboration abilities among mental health professionals. While existing scales measure interprofessional collaboration attitudes or general competencies, none explicitly address transdisciplinary-specific elements such as role release and shared conceptual frameworks. Methods: Following a systematic scale development framework, we conducted a literature review, expert content validation, and psychometric testing. Between October 2019 and March 2021, 117 mental health professionals from 14 professions enrolled in the Psychiatric Staff Education Program for Transdisciplinary Approach (PsySEPTA). Baseline data were collected from 96 participants for scale development. Exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency testing, known-groups validity assessment, and responsiveness evaluation were performed. Pre-post data from 53 one-year course participants were used to assess responsiveness to educational intervention. Results: The final 10-item TDAS had a two-factor structure explaining 57.1% of variance: Transdisciplinary Collaboration (six items, Conclusion: The TDAS is a psychometrically sound, brief instrument for assessing transdisciplinary collaboration abilities. It captures both collaborative processes and their practical application in patient care, filling an important gap where no validated transdisciplinary assessment previously existed. The scale offers a valuable tool for evaluating team-based, patient-centered care initiatives.
