Familiarity, Navigation, and Comprehension: Key Dimensions of Health Literacy in Pap Test Use among Korean American Women.
Article in Journal of health communication, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 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
Health literacy consists of multiple dimensions such as print and oral literacy or numeracy. Different dimensions of health literacy may have more salient impact on certain health behaviors and outcomes. Yet, evidence is limited regarding which dimensions particularly affect cervical cancer screening. The objective of this study was to examine the role of different dimensions of health literacy in cervical cancer screening among Korean American women. We used baseline data obtained from 560 Korean American women in a community-based health literacy-focused intervention study. Backward stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that familiarity (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-1.31) and navigational health literacy (AOR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.04-1.16) were associated with lifetime Pap test use and comprehension (AOR = 1.08, 95% CI = 1.02-1.14) with triennial Pap test screening. Prior exposure to healthcare settings and knowing how to navigate the healthcare system were more important than other health literacy dimensions for lifetime Pap test use. Understanding cancer screening-related words was most relevant to triennial Pap test use. In addition to addressing system factors such as insurance and physicians' recommendations, interventions to increase Pap test screening targeted at Korean American women are needed to address certain dimensions of health literacy such as familiarity, navigation, and comprehension.
