The Health Literacy of First Year Physiotherapy and Speech Pathology Students and Their Perceived Future Roles in Supporting Their Clients' Health Literacy.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundAllied health professionals are well positioned to assess and support their clients' health literacy (HL); however, they report being deficient in HL knowledge and skills.
objectiveTo explore allied health students' HL and their perceptions of their roles in supporting clients' HL.
designA mixed-methods cross-sectional study was undertaken in August 2022 amongst allied health students enrolled in graduate-entry masters programs at the University of Tasmania. Data collected included a Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) (
resultsAllied health students' confidence in the knowledge domain of the HLQ was rated as 28.57 from a maximum possible score of 50. Similarly, the students' confidence in the skills domain of the HLQ was rated as 14.87 from a maximum possible score of 25. Four themes were generated from the qualitative interviews: (1) valuing HL, (2) an innate part of their future roles, (3) contributors to their own HL, and (4) advocacy and their decision to study allied health.
conclusionThis study provides a preliminary insight into the HL of allied health students and highlights the strong perception held by allied health students that supporting clients' HL is a large component of their future roles.
