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
introductionHealthcare organizations must have the ability to adapt to rapid environmental changes and respond to evidence-based needs. One of the key prerequisites for the effective implementation of these changes is organizational readiness for knowledge translation (KT). The aim of this study is to identify the dimensions and components of organizational readiness for implementing KT in medical universities in Iran.
methodsThis research was conducted using a scoping review approach based on the Arksey and O'Malley framework. A comprehensive search was performed without a time limitation in international databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Persian databases MagIran and SID. Out of 4540 identified documents, 14 articles were included after screening and final assessment.
resultsAfter extracting the dimensions and components from the reviewed studies, five dimensions and 14 components were identified, as follows: Organizational Climate (culture of readiness and innovation, intra- and inter-organizational interactions, organizational dynamics), Organizational Support (development and training opportunities, financial resources, capacity building and organizational performance improvement), Change Management (strategies and change implementation capacity, leadership support), Organizational Context (knowledge management in the organization, organizational structure and technological advancement, social capital), and Human Resources (self-efficacy and motivation, leadership, collaboration and participation).
conclusionThis scoping review identified five key dimensions-Organizational Climate, Organizational Support, Change Management, Organizational Context, and Human Resources-comprising 14 components that constitute organizational readiness for KT. To enhance readiness, health system managers and policymakers must understand the importance of utilizing research evidence and, through skill development and fostering participation, create the necessary environment for implementing knowledge.
