Effects of health literacy competencies on patient-centered care among nurses.
Article in BMC health services research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThis study aims to identify the relationship between health literacy competencies and patient-centered care by clinical nurses.
methodsThe participants were 180 nurses working at three university hospitals located in G City and J Province, South Korea. Self-evaluation questionnaires were used to collect data that were collected from June 1 to 30, 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression with SPSS 26.0.
resultsThe mean of health literacy competencies was 3.19 (4 point scale) and the mean of patient-centered care was 3.48 (5 point scale). There were significant positive relationships between health literacy competencies and patient-centered care by clinical nurses (r = .50, p < .001). Factors influencing the health literacy competencies of clinical nurses were identified as education level (university) (β = .82), education level (masters) (β = .74), prior health literacy knowledge (β = .52), and health literacy competencies (β = .44). The explanatory power of this regression model was 36%, which was statistically significant (F = 17.65, p < .001).
conclusionClinical nurses' health literacy competencies should be developed to improve patient-centered care. Nursing education programs should emphasize the integration of health literacy into the nursing school curriculum.
