The association of self-efficacy and health literacy to chemotherapy self-management behaviors and health service utilization.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundIncreasing demands on Canada's healthcare system require patients to take on more active roles in their health. Effective self-management has been linked to improved health outcomes; and there is evidence that effective behaviors, and subsequent healthcare utilization, are linked to self-efficacy and health literacy; however, this link has had minimal testing in the cancer context. Our aim is to examine the association between self-efficacy, health literacy, chemotherapy self-management behaviors, and health service utilization. DESIGN AND
methodsA cross-sectional survey that included validated measures of self-efficacy, health literacy, chemotherapy self-management, and health service utilization was completed by participants (N = 213). Multivariable modeling using hierarchical linear regression was used to examine the association between variables.
resultsSelf-efficacy contributed significantly to explaining variation in chemotherapy self-management score. Health literacy was not significantly associated with any of the dependent variables.
conclusionParticipants with higher self-efficacy had higher chemotherapy self-management scores compared to participants with low self-efficacy. Contrary to evidence in the chronic disease self-management literature, this study demonstrated that health literacy was not associated with chemotherapy self-management behavior nor was it associated with self-efficacy. Building patient self-efficacy in the context of chemotherapy self-management could be particularly helpful both in the cancer center and in the domain of oral chemotherapy management at home where patients are required to take on significant responsibility for self-management.
