Knowledge Translation of Healthcare Research in Saudi Arabia-Implications for Community Health and Primary Care Under the New Saudi Model of Care: A Narrative Review.
Review in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Knowledge translation (KT) is an essential process in bridging the gap between research evidence and healthcare practice, particularly in community health and primary care settings. In Saudi Arabia, KT is gaining increasing importance as the healthcare system undergoes a major transformation under Saudi Vision 2030 and the new Saudi Model of Care. The new model of care emphasizes the importance of healthy communities and primary care as early elements of healthcare service delivery before reaching the secondary and tertiary healthcare levels. Additionally, healthcare transformation under Saudi Vision 2030 encourages the utilization of evidence and KT to improve healthcare services provided to individuals and enhance the standardization of healthcare delivery. Nonetheless, the application of KT principles in community health and primary care contexts has faced some challenges during the period preceding the establishment of the new Saudi Model of Care. While Saudi Arabia has achieved significant advances in health research and institutional capacity building, KT remains underutilized in local community health initiatives. This narrative review aims to provide a conceptual overview of KT and explore its implications within the contexts of community health and primary care in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the review introduces the key components of KT-evidence synthesis, dissemination, exchange, and application-and examines how these can be implemented in community and primary care contexts. The review emphasizes the necessity of stakeholder engagement, community-based participatory research, and the integration of frameworks such as the knowledge to action and social-ecological models to ensure effective KT in community health settings. Future directions should focus on expanding KT training, promoting its integration across health institutions involved in primary care delivery, and sustaining community health through strong partnerships among academic, governmental, and community stakeholders.
