Using a Health Literacy Analytic Framework to Explore Zika Virus and Reproductive Health.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThe emergence of Zika virus as sexually transmissible and associated with birth defects may affect reproductive planning and contraception use for people in Florida.
objectiveThis exploratory study employed a health literacy analytic framework to explore knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to reproductive health in the context of Zika among reproductive-age women and men in Florida.
methodsReproductive-age people in Florida ( KEY
resultsParticipants reported they would use reputable online sources to access Zika information. Whereas participants generally understood Zika outcomes, transmission, and symptoms, they reported hearing more prevention messages on mosquito transmission compared to sexual transmission. Overall, participants reported Zika was not concerning given their appraisal of personal circumstances. Participants were confident they could prevent Zika via sexual transmission despite not following the recommended guidelines. Participants discussed how their understanding of Zika changed their behaviors related to mosquito control but not through sexual transmission.
conclusionsThis study illustrated a disconnect between reproductive-age people's understanding of Zika-related prevention information and their reproductive decision-making behavior. Strategies to promote appraisal of risk for sexual transmission of Zika, infection, and unintended pregnancy are needed. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Men and women of reproductive age in Florida may be at risk for Zika virus and related negative health outcomes. This study assessed how Florida men and women find, understand, and evaluate Zika-related health information, and how that applies to their prevention behaviors. This study used health literacy as an analytic framework for an emerging health issue.
