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

Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) science increasingly recognizes the importance of equitable community engagement; yet, few models fully integrate community leadership and contextual knowledge throughout the research translation process. This paper introduces the Integrated Knowledge, Dissemination, and Action (IKDA) Framework, a novel model that combines the Knowledge to Action (K2A) Framework and Brownson's Model for Dissemination of Research, to guide the co-creation, dissemination and practice, and institutionalization of health information in community settings. Together, the IKDA Framework supports community-engaged approaches to collaboratively translate evidence into culturally resonant, actionable products and practices through multi-phased, iterative stages that leads to sustained utilization. The IKDA Framework's utility is demonstrated through two public health initiatives: the Health Promotion Through Environmental Design (HPTED) project and the National Network to Innovate for COVID-19 and Adult Vaccine Equity (NNICE). These case studies focus on research and dissemination phases of the IKDA and illustrate how community-driven dissemination strategies-such as tailored digital tools, infographics, and training-enhanced community awareness, trust, and engagement. Our use of the IKDA Framework within these projects is ongoing to facilitate continued implementation and institutionalization. The IKDA Framework moves beyond traditional knowledge dissemination to foster co-ownership, ethical community engagement, and long-term community-academic partnerships. It provides both researchers and practitioners with a structured yet flexible roadmap to support equitable, sustainable community-based health improvements. As public health continues to address complex, place-based challenges, the IKDA Framework offers a scalable and responsive approach to bridging research with community practice to facilitate real-world, positive community impact.
