Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Parental health literacy is a decisive factor for child health and quality of life. Children of parents with limited health literacy are at increased risk of illness and longer recovery periods. The research at the Quality of Life Research Centre is aimed at studying the health literacy of ethnic Hungarian mothers in Eastern Europe (Hungary, Slovakia, Romania) as well as at assessing its socioeconomic and demographic antecedents. The sample size is 894 mothers. Our standardized online questionnaire includes the HLS-EU-16 and the BHLS questions, with the latter intended to screen for inadequate health literacy. Predictors of health literacy in mothers are socioeconomic status, age and partnership status. A key finding is the improvement of health literacy with age. Assessing the association of partnership status and health literacy is a novelty in this region. Our analysis reinforces the role of socioeconomic capital, widely recognized to be associated with health literacy in general and with parental health literacy in particular. Results indicate the necessity of improving caregiver health literacy with a range of health promotional activities in Eastern Europe, especially among mothers with low socioeconomic status. The hardships of young mothers and single mothers should also be considered in this respect.
