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

introductionNumerous frameworks for defining and supporting co-created research exist. The practicalities of designing and conducting co-created research are clearly important, yet the utility of these frameworks and their operationalisation within local contexts and involving a diversity of stakeholders and interests are currently not well-researched.

methodsUsing an instrumental case study approach, we examined the utility of a published systematic framework designed to improve clarity about co-creation as a concept and approach. The framework is explored based on the first two processes that correspond to our own work to date: co-ideation and co-design.

resultsOur study showed that diverse stakeholders bring challenges regarding research priorities, methods, language and the distribution of power within co-creation processes. Co-creation activities were incremental, adaptable, responsive and made best use of established relationships, structures and collective leadership to meet the competing demands of funders and human research ethics committees, while ensuring the meaningful participation of multiple stakeholders.

conclusionThe findings highlight the iterative, fluid and deeply relational nature of co-created research. Rather than seeking to categorise these processes, we argue that the social relations of research production that provide the structures within which all co-created knowledge is generated are more important drivers of effective knowledge mobilisation and implementation. Thus, close attention to these social relations is needed in co-created research. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: People with lived experience of emotional distress and/or suicidal crisis, including academic researchers, service and peer workers, carers and advocates were involved in the co-ideation and co-design of this research. All authors identify as people with lived experience, from both academic and nonresearch backgrounds.
