Health Literacy among Individuals with Disabilities: A Health Information National Trends Survey Analysis.
Article in The Permanente journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionLimited health literacy has been shown to be detrimental on health outcomes and the health care system, such as high rates of mortality and health care costs. A disability has been diagnosed in more than 19% of the US population, but the health literacy status of these individuals has yet to be adequately assessed.
objectiveTo examine the health literacy concerns of a nationally representative sample of individuals with disabilities.
methodsData analysis using the Health Information National Trends Survey, a nationally representative survey sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. Descriptive analyses and χ
resultsResults show 2 areas of concern for individuals with disabilities compared with those who did not report a disability: The effort to find needed information and being frustrated during the search for information. There was no difference detected between individuals with and without disabilities regarding being concerned about the quality of information found and believing that the information found was hard to understand. DISCUSSION: These findings do not support the notion that individuals with disabilities are more likely to experience health literacy difficulties than individuals without disabilities. However, accurately assessing and improving health literacy for the diverse group of individuals with disabilities requires tailored approaches and further attention.
conclusionPrecise assessment of health literacy and disabilities is necessary to identify and address the unique concerns of this population.
