Demonstrating public health impacts of translational science at the clinical and translational science collaborative (CTSC) of northern Ohio: a mixed-methods approach using the translational science benefits model.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program, funded by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), aims to accelerate the translation of research into public health impacts. However, measuring the societal impact of translational research poses challenges due to extended timelines for implementation. This study uses the Translational Science Benefits Model (TSBM) to evaluate the societal impact of CTSA-supported research at the Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) of Northern Ohio at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). Using the TSBM, we asked how investigators have used the CTSC to demonstrate translational science impacts in public health practice both domestically and internationally. Using a mixed methods approach, this study analyzed TSBM-based survey data from CTSC-supported KL2 Scholars and Pilot Program awardees, along with key publications and interviews, to document societal benefits across four TSBM domains: Clinical & Medical, Community & Public Health, Economic, and Policy & Legislative. Findings demonstrate that CTSC-supported research improved public health by enhancing healthcare access, improving health outcomes, informing policy, and generating economic benefits. These impacts span local, national, and global contexts. By applying a mixed methods approach, we demonstrate the value of using the TSBM not just as an evaluative framework, but as a strategic tool for capturing the real-world significance of translational science. This approach strengthens the ability of CTSA hubs to highlight the broader public value of their work, reinforcing the CTSA program's mission to transform scientific discoveries into lasting health and societal benefits.
