Beyond the horizon: new directions in research coproduction.
Article in Health research policy and systems, 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
Research coproduction is no longer a subordinate approach; it is reshaping how health research is conceived, conducted and applied. Integrated knowledge translation (IKT), the Canadian term for coproduction, champions researchers and knowledge users in producing research that is relevant and actionable. In 2018, the Integrated Knowledge Translation Research Network (IKTRN) launched its first concept paper series, emphasizing methodological foundations. In 2024, a second call invited deeper theoretical engagement, resulting in this collection, which addresses structural and relational dimensions of coproduction. Across the 17 papers in this series, 3 themes dominate: power, partnership strategies and infrastructure. Several papers interrogate power in research relationships, noting conceptual inconsistencies and proposing strategies such as reflexivity, culturally responsive approaches and inclusive language to mitigate inequities. Others examine partnership management, emphasizing trust as a dynamic process and recommending actions, such as continuous communication, to strengthen engagement with Indigenous communities, migrants and ethnically diverse populations. A third theme addresses infrastructure, highlighting the need for resources, leadership and tailored training to sustain coproduction, particularly for trainees. Collectively, these contributions signal an evolution from methodological concerns towards systemic considerations of equity and sustainability. They underscore that coproduction is not merely a set of techniques, but a structural and relational endeavour requiring institutional commitment and adequate resourcing. This collection invites researchers, funders and policy-makers to reflect on their roles in advancing these priorities.
