How health literacy and patient activation play their own unique role in self-management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
Article in Chronic respiratory disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Current evidence indicates that although they are correlated, health literacy (HL) and patient activation (PA) are distinct. This article describes how HL, PA and their determinants intersect and diverge and how these concepts might inform the development of self-management interventions. The concepts of HL and PA contribute to self-management interventions in different ways. HL includes the skills and confidence required for self-management while PA focuses more on motivation and ability to take action. In this light, communication of concepts on HL and PA needs to be more widely understood by academics, researchers and policy experts as each of them plays a unique role in promoting self-management for long-term conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
