The relationship between health literacy and blood sugar control in rural areas among diabetes patients.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. 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
Background: Although the relationship between health literacy and glycemic control has been explored in patients with diabetes, little is known about the relationship between different categories of diabetes health literacy and glycemic control in rural areas. Therefore, this study focused on the relationship between different categories of health literacy and glycemic control among diabetic patients in rural areas of Guangxi, China. Objective: To explore the potential profiles of health literacy among rural diabetes patients in Guangxi and investigate their relationship with blood sugar control. Methods: A health literacy questionnaire was administered to 2280 rural diabetes patients in five cities in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Latent profile analysis was conducted to identify potential health literacy profiles. Results: Health literacy among rural diabetes patients in Guangxi could be categorized into high literacy-high functionality and low literacy-low criticality groups. The latent categories of health literacy were associated with blood sugar control, with diabetes patients in the high literacy-high functionality group demonstrating better blood sugar control than those in the low literacy-low criticality group Conclusion: Health literacy among rural diabetes patients in Guangxi exhibits heterogeneity. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to patients with low literacy and low criticality in rural areas and develop interventions to enhance their health literacy, thereby improving their blood sugar control.
