Examining Health Literacy Levels in Homeless Persons and Vulnerably Housed Persons with Mental Health Disorders.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Health care use is high in persons who are homeless and vulnerably housed, but their health literacy (ability to read and understand health information) is often not known. The purpose of this study was to determine health literacy rates in a Canadian population of homeless and vulnerably housed individuals with mental health disorders. Higher levels of health literacy were associated with being housed, higher levels of education, non-psychotic mental health diagnoses and lower levels of drug use. This suggests that health literacy may be a potential barrier for accessing and utilizing health services and information for vulnerable populations.
