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

Rycroft-Malone and colleagues' editorial on research co-production highlights the potential of a co-production mode of research to narrow the gap between knowledge production and use. This commentary critiques implicit assumptions within the argument and challenges the view that traditional (Mode 1) science bears the primary responsibility for delayed implementation and questions the inherent superiority of co-production. It also highlights the importance of political and policy considerations in considering research uptake. "Mode 3" knowledge production (integrating Modes 1 and 2 discovery) offers a potentially more advanced framework that recognizes systems and organizational perspectives. A deeper, multi-layered exploration of the influence of socio-political and policy contexts is needed to understand the full potential of co-production on knowledge utilization.
