Interprofessional learning at primary healthcare centres.
Article in BMC medical education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStudents can practice learning in an interprofessional environment during their education in order to enable a well-functioning cooperation between healthcare professions. The aim of interprofessional learning (IPL) is for all students to contribute with their expertise and work in teams under supervision, which has been shown to improve their understanding of their own and each other's roles. However, previous research in interprofessional learning in primary healthcare is limited.
aimThe aim of the study was to describe and explore interprofessional learning in primary healthcare from the perspectives of patients, students, and supervisors.
methodA mixed method approach was used with 35 participants (14 students, 16 patients and 5 supervisors) in a convergent design. Data collection and the analysis of questionnaires and interviews were conducted simultaneously. The responses to the questionnaires were analysed descriptively, and the interviews were analysed thematically.
resultsThe results, based on the perspectives of the patients, students, and supervisors, showed that IPL supported the students in focusing on the patient and contributed to a patient-centred approach. The interprofessional learning of the students evolved gradually through an increased responsibility in the cooperation. In order to balance individual and collective learning, the supervisors could take a step back to support the students' pursuit of independence. CONCLUSION(S): These findings suggest that IPL could improve and develop quality in primary healthcare. The results of the present study emphasize that the patient perspective plays an important role in students' interprofessional learning as it contributes to a holistic approach and perspective in healthcare. The supervisors play an important role in structuring the IPL, acting as role models, nurturing cooperation between the students and being responsible for patients' safety.
