[Digital health literacy-conceptual contextualization, measurement, and promotion].
Review in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 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
The concept of digital health literacy can be regarded as the result of the increasing social permeation of digital media and their use in everyday life. Due to increasing accessibility and ubiquity, there is an increasing need not only for searching and finding, but especially for assessing the reliability as well as selecting and applying health information for one's own health concerns. In the context of digitization, it needs to be emphasized that users are not just passive recipients, but rather actively participate in the communication process by interacting with existing content or by sharing their own health-related information.With particular focus on children and adolescents, this paper provides an overview of the current state of research on digital health literacy. In addition to its terminological and conceptual foundations and its links with media literacy, the relationship between digital health literacy and social and health inequality is discussed. Inequalities are not only generated by access to digital media but, above all, by the skills required for their use. After an overview of available instruments is provided, initial reflections on how to promote the individual and structural dimension of digital health literacy with focus on school settings is given.
