Impact of Health Literacy on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Benign Gynecology: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The objective of this study was to systematically review the relationship between low health literacy and patient-reported outcomes in patients with benign gynecologic conditions. In this specific population, we also sought to determine the current reported prevalence of low health literacy, examine demographic characteristics that may be related to low health literacy, and collate any health literacy interventions described in the literature. A systematic search of MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, and clinicaltrials.gov was performed on July 12, 2021, and repeated on October 13, 2023, for terms related to health literacy, specific health literacy measures, and benign gynecologic conditions. There were language or publication period restrictions. Inclusion required primary literature to report associations between health literacy and patient-reported outcomes, using validated tools to quantitatively measure each, in adult women with benign gynecologic conditions. Title screening, abstract screening, and full-text review were conducted with Covidence software (Melbourne, Australia) assisting with the review process. Of the 18,701 studies returned using our search strategy, 25 were selected for full-text review. Of these, no studies met inclusion criteria and reported an association between health literacy and patient-reported outcomes. This study identified a large gap in the literature. Future work should be directed at evaluating the association between health literacy and patient-reported outcomes in benign gynecology to inform patient-centered interventions and care provision.
