Mapping and engaging the Costa Rican scientific diaspora: experiences from over a decade implementing the hipatia.cr portal.
Article in Frontiers in research metrics and analytics, 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
By describing the framework developed by the hipatia. cr initiative for mapping the Costa Rican scientific diaspora and engaging it with local actors and sectors, this policy and practice review provides a practical guideline that may be useful for other emerging countries seeking to connect this valuable resource to their country of origin. This initiative was launched in 2012 by the State of the Nation Program of the National Council of Rectors, to provide a yearly updated overview of the country's STI capabilities and supporting public-private decision-making processes. Implementing the Costa Rican scientific diaspora framework has involved five sequential steps: a) Gather initial contact information from various sources to establish the preliminary pool of potential members; b) Design and implementation of an online data-collection form aimed at identifying, mapping, and characterizing this scientific community abroad; c) Develop a database and an online dashboard integrated into the hipatia.cr portal, to make relevant information about the profile of this community publicly accessible; d) Introduce and position the topic within the national narrative and mobilizing diverse actors such as academic, public institutions, policymakers, media, and industry sectors; e) Design innovative mechanisms to engage them with diverse local stakeholders, as well as supporting monitoring in national STI policies. The resulting mapping currently constitutes the most comprehensive registry of the Costa Rican scientific diaspora available in the country. Several aspects of this initiative intersect with key development goals and main challenges faced by the country.
