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

Researchers need to not only produce scientifically valid work but also consider how their new knowledge will impact society. Strategies to propel research into use for greater impact are part of the knowledge translation process. Traditionally, researchers presented their work at conferences and through scientific publications. While this remains an important strategy for engaging researchers and academics, it is insufficient to ensure impact with other stakeholders. Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) is a collaborative model of research co-production that involves a variety of stakeholders throughout the research process to enhance the relevance, timeliness and application of research findings for use in policy and practice. The key steps in IKT are outlined in this article and include stakeholder analysis, an engagement strategy and evaluation. For each stakeholder, the engagement strategy should consider the purpose of engagement, the key message, the most effective medium, the best messenger, the timing of engagement and the resources required.
