Community engagement and involvement in Sri Lanka: a knowledge mobilisation case study.
Article in Research involvement and engagement, 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
This paper provides a narrative case study of how Community Involvement and Engagement was introduced and embedded within the Sri Lanka research system between 2018 and 2025. Using stakeholder engagement activities, workshop outputs, and programme documentation coordinated by the Institute for Research and Development in Health and Social Care (IRD), the study explores the methodologies, processes, and institutional strategies that supported sustained CEI development in a lower middle-income country (LMIC). The paper demonstrates that successful CEI requires addressing structural inequalities and fostering deep community engagement. Embedding CEI requires alignment between ethical governance, institutional leadership, and culturally adapted engagement practices, underpinned by knowledge mobilisation. The findings highlight the potential for bidirectional benefits between lower- and higher-income countries, which may contribute to evolving and improving the the research culture in LMICs. These efforts have laid a robust foundation for CEI in Sri Lanka, serving as a model for other LMICs. Sustaining this momentum will require continued innovation, strategic partnerships, and integration of CEI into national research policies.
