Validation of the transactional eHealth literacy instrument with cancer caregivers.
Article in PEC innovation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objective: Family members are important sources of support for patients with cancer. They access, evaluate, and engage with online information and discuss it with a cancer clinician. This study validates the 4-dimensions, 18-item Transactional eHealth Literacy Instrument (TeHLI) and proposed to include Clinical eHealth Literacy as a 5th dimension. Methods: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) disseminated an online survey to 121 family member caregivers between March-June 2020. We conducted confirmatory factor analyses (1) to examine model fit for the 4-factor TeHLI in the cancer caregiver population, and (2) to examine the model fit when adding the 5th factor. Results: The 4-dimension model yielded acceptable model fit (RMSEA = 0.09; 90% CI = 0.08-0.11; CFI = 0.98; TLI = 0.98; SRMR = 0.07). The 5-dimension model also yielded acceptable model fit (RMSEA = 0.08; 90% CI = 0.07-0.10; CFI = 0.97; TLI = 0.97; SRMR = 0.08), supporting the expansion of the TeHLI within this population. Conclusion: The five-dimension TeHLI is a valid and reliable measure of eHealth literacy among blood cancer caregiver populations. Innovation: The TeHLI can be used as an outcome measure for communication skills training for caregivers, patients, and clinicians.
