Health Literacy Profiles of Early Intervention Providers: Use of the Health Literacy Questionnaire.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundEarly intervention (EI) providers work with parents of children with or who have risk factors of developmental delay or disability through Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Many parents in the United States have low health literacy; therefore, EI providers should be aware of and address families' health literacy needs. EI providers need to be health literate themselves to implement evidence-based recommended practices.
objectiveThis study aimed to measure health literacy levels of interdisciplinary EI providers and investigate associations between health literacy levels and demographic variables.
methodsA survey containing the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) was completed by EI providers working at 10 EI centers in Massachusetts. Scale scores were calculated and compared across demographic variables, including EI job role, age, years of EI experience, and highest education level. KEY
resultsOf 715 EI providers invited to participate, 376 surveys were completed (52.6% response rate). Most participants were women (92.6%,
conclusionsEI providers require adequate health literacy to manage their health needs and to effectively provide services to EI families. Study results may inform future targeted professional development to support improvement of EI providers' health literacy skills, including appraisal of health information and navigation of the health care system.
