Multi-level community dissemination of public health research: insights from the fuel to pot project case study in Kenya and Malawi.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Household air pollution (HAP) from solid fuel use affects nearly 3.6 billion people globally, causing 3.2 million deaths annually. Despite extensive research, interventions show limited health benefits, highlighting the need for community-centered approaches that meaningfully engage affected populations in research dissemination and solution co-design. We present a community case study from the Fuel to Pot project (2020-2023), an interdisciplinary study conducted in the informal settlements of Mukuru, Kenya, and Ndirande, Malawi. Following 2 years of participatory research using walking interviews and photovoice, we implemented a cascaded, interactive dissemination model involving sequential community engagement events followed by policymaker discussions. Community dissemination events engaged diverse community members in each location through mobile poster exhibitions featuring local language translations, photovoice images, and simplified data visualizations. Interactive discussions generated contextually relevant recommendations addressing immediate community needs and systemic policy changes. Subsequent policymaker events with key stakeholders further facilitated dialog between community priorities and institutional capacity, strengthening researcher-community-policy relationships. We suggest six principles for community engagement in research dissemination (Engagement, Networks, Accessibility, Capacity strengthening, Trust, and Budgeting) that aim to transform research dissemination from a performative, extractive practice into a collaborative action. This approach enhances the sustainability of interventions, builds local capacity, and addresses ethical imperatives in global and public health research. The principles provide a replicable framework for researchers seeking to move beyond traditional academic dissemination toward more genuine community engagement and the co-creation of effective health interventions.
