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
Purpose: To assess changes in readiness for interprofessional learning among pharmacy and nursing students following a structured interprofessional clinical case discussion, and to evaluate students' feedback and pharmacy students' performance in the activity. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-post interventional study was conducted at Ajman University, College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates (UAE) during November 2025. Final-year pharmacy students and third-year (senior-most available) nursing students participated in a structured IPE seminar using real clinical cases obtained from a secondary care hospital in Sharjah Emirate. Readiness for IPE was assessed before and after the intervention using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). Both pharmacy and nursing students feedback, and pharmacy students' performance were also evaluated. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses (Shapiro Wilk test, Kendall's test, and Mann-Whiteny Results: A total of 61 students participated, including 38 pharmacy students and 23 nursing students. Baseline RIPLS scores were high, with a median total score of 81 (IQR 73.5-86.5), increasing slightly post-intervention to 82 (IQR 74-87). Nursing students had significantly higher baseline readiness than pharmacy students (p = 0.013). Total post-RIPLS score showed a slight improvement overall; nonetheless, only the "Up to 21" age group approached statistical significance (p = 0.057). A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between discipline and several RIPLS items from all three domains, such as items 6, 14, 15, 16, and 17 (p = 0.006, 0.008, 0.002, 0.004, and 0.003). Students reported highly positive feedback (Median score 4.92), particularly regarding improvements in clinical understanding, communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and appreciation of interprofessional collaboration. Conclusion: Interprofessional clinical case discussion seminar reinforced students' already high readiness for IPE. These findings support the value of integrating IPE in undergraduate curriculum in the UAE.
