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

The Our Land and Water National Science Challenge (OLW) had the gazetted objective of enhancing primary sector production and productivity while maintaining and improving land and water quality for future generations. OLW employed a co-innovation approach, integrating a wide range of disciplines and stakeholders in the co-design, co-development, and co-production of research. Empirical data from OLW's eight-year implementation indicated that this approach increased the adoption of innovations (from a baseline of 20% to 53%, on average) and reduced the complexity for farmers in evaluating agri-environmental benefits, leading to significant improvements in both environmental and economic outcomes. Despite a lower volume of traditional publications, the high level of stakeholder engagement and co-authorship suggests that the research is well-integrated and impactful. These findings support the hypothesis that co-innovation yielded quicker impacts than traditional research approaches for the same level of investment.
