Health Literacy and Adherence to Clinical Recommendations in Head and Neck Cancer.
Article in Health literacy research and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAfter definitive cancer treatment, survivors of head and neck cancer (HNC) are commonly recommended to participate in therapies aimed at reducing the burden of treatment-related side effects.
objectiveIn this study, we evaluated whether adherence to referral to physical therapy (PT) and speech-language pathology therapy (SLPT) is related to patient health literacy (HL).
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort analysis of patients attending a multidisciplinary HNC survivorship clinic between 2017 and 2019. HL was measured using the Brief Health Literacy Screen, with scores below 10 indicating inadequate HL. Chi-square and logistic regression were used to evaluate the association between HL and adherence to PT or SLPT referral. KEY
resultsFrom the overall cohort (
conclusionOverall, inadequate HL is associated with reduced adherence to PT but is not associated with adherence to SLPT among HNC survivors. These results highlight the clinical importance of HL and underscore the need for interventions to facilitate adherence to treatment for patients with inadequate HL. [
