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
Purpose: Evaluate the level of health literacy and quality of life of patients with hypertension. Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was carried out in the Northeast region of Brazil with 105 patients with hypertension through the SAHLPA-18, S-TOFHLA and MINICHAL tests. Results: For both literacy tests applied, it can be observed that about 60% of the interviewed patients did not present adequate health literacy. It was found that factors such as increasing age, lower economic class and lower education were associated with a lower level of health literacy. In the evaluation of the quality of life by the MINICHAL, 46.7% of the patients reported that hypertension interferes with quality of life. It was also possible to show that the time of diagnosis ( Conclusion: Hypertension is a chronic condition that requires continuous treatment and has potential risks of evolving with fatal and non-fatal complications that can affect the patients' quality of life. The data presented reflect the difficulty in understanding and processing health information, which may directly impact on the therapeutic management of hypertension.
