Perceived eHealth literacy and health literacy among people with spinal cord injury: A cross-sectional study.
Article in The journal of spinal cord medicine, 2023. 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
objectivesThis purpose of this research was to (1) to evaluate eHealth and general health literacy levels among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and (2) to identify relationships between eHealth literacy, general health literacy, and various sociodemographic factors.
designCross-sectional.
settingThe study was conducted in the community setting.
participantsAs part of a larger study, a total of 50 community-dwelling individuals with SCI were recruited.
interventionsn/a. OUTCOME MEASURES: Quantitative online survey data were collected on participants' sociodemographic characteristics, eHealth literacy (using the eHealth Literacy Scale), general health literacy (using the Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool).
resultsThe average age of participants was 49 years old; 25 participants were male and 25 were female. A total of 39 participants experienced traumatic SCI and 11 participants experienced non-traumatic SCI. Participants demonstrated moderate levels of eHealth literacy (31.6 out of 40) and general health literacy (17.6 out of 20). A significant, positive correlation was found between eHealth literacy and general health literacy. Significant, positive correlations were found between general health literacy and sociodemographic factors, including income and education. A significant, negative correlation was found between general health literacy and time since injury.
conclusionNo previous studies we are aware of have evaluated perceived eHealth literacy and general health literacy among people with SCI. This study demonstrated the diverse range of eHealth literacy levels in SCI populations and how this, and other factors, may impact an individual's ability to self-manage and adopt to eHealth technologies.
