Māori Research Data Governance in New Zealand Universities.
Article in Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2026. 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
Universities in Aotearoa generate and hold large volumes of research data, including increasing amounts of Māori data shaped by Vision Mātauranga. Yet practice around Māori Data Sovereignty (MDSov) remains uneven, with commitments often aspirational rather than operational. This article assesses how Tiriti-led institutions are upholding the mana and mauri of Māori data as taonga and identifies how bureaucratic inertia maintains the gap between policy signals and everyday research practice. Using a data ecosystem lens, we consider the roles of actors, stakeholders and Māori as rightsholders across the research lifecycle. A case study of Waipapa Taumata Rau highlights both progress and fragmentation. We synthesise recent Māori and Indigenous data governance developments and propose practical steps to shift from voluntary alignment to accountable practice. We argue that meaningful implementation of Māori Research Data Governance is necessary for universities to act as kaitiaki and ensure Māori benefit from data use and reuse.
