1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The purpose of this study was to understand the current status of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health literacy among rural older adults people and its influencing factors. Methods: This study used a random number table method to select one prefecture from Henan Province, China and used a convenience sampling method to select 200 rural older adults who met the inclusion criteria in a township in northern Henan from March to April 2023. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire and a traditional Chinese medicine health literacy questionnaire, and the influencing factors of rural older adults were analyzed using univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression. Results: The total TCM health literacy score of 200 rural older adults people was 84.14 ± 6.709. One-way ANOVA revealed that six factors, including education level, marital status, type of occupation, presence of family members engaged in medical-related work, main economic sources, and monthly income, influenced the TCM health literacy score of rural older adults people ( Conclusion: The TCM health literacy level of rural older adults people is at the lower to middle level, and health educators should strengthen the publicity and education of TCM healthcare knowledge for rural older adults people to improve their TCM health literacy level and thus enhance their quality of life.
