Family Health in Adult Education: A Missing Piece of the Health Literacy Puzzle.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Previous research and interventions define health literacy as an individual-level concept. Although it is necessary to design programs aimed at individual people, not all health decisions are made by patients themselves, and calls have been made to expand health literacy work beyond the individual. This brief report stems from a larger study in which personnel working for adult literacy coalitions identified family health as a priority topic for health-focused lessons, yet often felt ill-equipped to teach students in this area. This brief report examines adult educators' perspectives on the types of content needed for a family health module designed for the adult education curriculum. Personnel from adult literacy coalitions offered qualitative insights on their desires for health literacy content in the context of family care. Adult literacy coalition educators and staff can provide important insights regarding the health literacy needs of adults in vulnerable populations. Three key themes emerged: American Family Health, Nutritious Eating, and Identify and Act. Rather than using a personal approach, a program that frames health literacy as family health and offers a holistic view on caring for others may serve to provide important context for health decisions and communication for adults at literacy centers.
