Dynamics and challenges of technology transfer in Colombia: a systematic literature review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in research metrics and analytics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Technology transfer in Colombia plays a critical role in promoting innovation and regional development. However, its implementation continues to face significant institutional, economic, and cultural challenges that hinder its effectiveness and sustainability. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The databases Scopus and Web of Science were used to identify peer-reviewed articles that addressed knowledge and technology transfer within the Colombian context. Results: The analysis revealed multiple barriers: institutional fragmentation, inadequate investment in R&D, lack of incentives for collaboration, and weak trust between academia and industry. Additionally, organizational rigidity and the limited adaptation of international transfer models to local contexts were identified as factors that reduce the effectiveness of these processes. Discussion: The findings highlight the need to acknowledge regional particularities, foster inclusive governance, and promote horizontal relationships among stakeholders. Effective international strategies, such as open innovation, co-creation models, and hybrid technology transfer offices, could be adapted to the Colombian context. Strengthening institutional capacities, increasing R&D funding, and aligning innovation with social and environmental objectives are imperative to build a more robust and inclusive innovation ecosystem.
