It is time to acknowledge and act on the importance of power in integrated knowledge translation.
Article in Health research policy and systems, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) has emerged as an approach to research centered on collaboration between researchers and knowledge users, particularly in health research. There has been a growing focus on power within the IKT literature, especially the concern that overlooking power inequities within IKT partnerships may reproduce forms of knowledge production and dissemination that do not align with IKT's aspirations of shared decision making to produce useful and usable research findings. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of how to address and attend to power in IKT. The lack of conceptual precision around power complicates these efforts. In this commentary, we draw on existing literatures that have grappled with the notion of power to sensitize those who study and engage in IKT to the importance of power and to identify helpful ways of thinking about power in IKT. We propose that it is time to not only acknowledge the importance of power in IKT but also to develop empirically based strategies through which the many dimensions of power can be identified and navigated.
