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

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) in healthcare remains insufficiently studied, despite the World Health Organization's strong emphasis. Research on attitudes toward IPE among medical students (MS) from private medical schools is particularly limited. Objective: To study the attitudes toward IPE among MS from German private medical schools. Methods: Using an online survey, positive and negative predictors of IPE attitudes, as measured by the validated German version of the Interprofessional Learning Scale of the University of the West of England Interprofessional Questionnaire (UWE-IP-D ILS), were identified from 256 MS at four private German medical schools. Additionally, MS selected preferred preclinical / clinical curriculum subjects for IPE. Results: The overall UWE-IP-D ILS mean (standard error) score was 20.27 (± 8.16). Multiple regression analysis identified female sex as a significant positive predictor of positive IPE attitudes, even after Bonferroni correction ( Conclusions: The survey results support the implementation of structured IPE programs and guide IPE embedding in the German medical curriculum. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-026-02712-9.
