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
objectiveto investigate health literacy level, quality of life and related factors in semi-urban and urban areas.
methodthis cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2018 and February 2019 with 595 participants. The variables found significant in the bivariate regression analysis were included in the multivariate regression analysis.
resultsaccording to the scores obtained from the Health Literacy Scale, participants' health literacy 76.5% levels were adequate. The factors affecting the Health Literacy Scale score in semi-urban areas were educational status, income status, presence of a chronic disease, perceived health, and understanding the health information provided. The factors affecting the Health Literacy Scale score in urban areas were age, marital status, reading habits, presence of a chronic disease, and understanding the health information provided (p < .05). There was a statistically significant difference between participants living in semi-urban and urban areas in terms of their health literacy and quality of life levels (p < .001).
conclusionthe health literacy level was inadequate in three out of ten participants, and it was even lower in semi-urban areas.
