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: Despite growing interest in interprofessional identity (IPI) development, there is limited insight into what motivates healthcare students to develop their IPI, specifically in the context of an interprofessional training unit (ITU). This prompted our research question: what motivates students to develop their IPI? Methods: As part of a larger quantitative study conducted between September 2023 and July 2024, qualitative narrative data were collected via an online survey at two Dutch teaching hospitals. Students answered three open-ended questions on what influenced their interprofessional identity before and after placement. Data was analyzed through content analysis, using the three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) as a sensitizing framework. Results: One hundred and seventy-nine students participated, providing 1012 comments. We identified 4 overarching themes: relatedness, competence, autonomy and value of interprofessional education and collaboration (IPE&C). Discussion: This study shows that an ITU placement may enhance students' IPI formation by satisfaction of the basic psychological needs for relatedness and competence, and to a lesser extent autonomy, suggesting students in this specific ITU context found it challenging to exercise autonomy Students' IPI formation seems to be a continuous process of reconciling expectations of IPE&C, through previous experiences and stories from others, with lived experiences during interprofessional interactions. We provide practical implications for ITU tutors.
