Promoting Health Literacy Among Adult ELLs Virtually During COVID-19.
Article in Health promotion practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The adult English language learner (ELL) population is often overlooked in health literacy discussions, which can result in perpetuating low health literacy and unfamiliarity with and low access to community resources. Health literacy interventions can reduce the impacts of social determinants of health. We examine the experience of a virtual health literacy educational course, Health in the English Language, for ELLs at Alaska Literacy Program (ALP), an Anchorage nonprofit. Our class was designed to help students navigate interactions with health care services, including medical care, pharmacy, health insurance, and nutrition resources. After 2 years of in-person teaching by university undergraduates, COVID-19 required a pivot to virtual instruction in Zoom in the summer of 2020. Instructors describe lessons learned and adjusting to student needs, community-building and personal connections, and the complexities of the topic of health literacy. ALP collaboration with university students continues to be a successful partnership to build health literacy capacity. Adoption of virtual instruction during COVID demonstrated the role that partnerships between nonprofits and university students can play to benefit all partners in the collaboration.
