Maternal Health Literacy in Pregnant Women: A Concept Analysis.
Review in Maternal and child health journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesMaternal health literacy (MHL) plays a vital role in pregnancy outcomes, healthcare researchers should further analyze, refine, and develop this concept. This study aims to clarify the definition of MHL in pregnant women through a analysis of the concept.
methodsWalker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to analyze the concept of MHL. A search of the literature was completed using the databases PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science (WOS), and the Science and Technology Index (SINTA) for years 2001-2021; literature search included grey literature, publications from the government and academic institutions, and available both in English and Indonesia. A total of 12 articles were reviewed.
resultsMHL is a multifaceted and comprehensive concept. This study presents a working definition of MHL during pregnancy as the skills enabling women to access, comprehend, evaluate, and apply health information related to pregnancy, which are necessary for making decisions for improving and maintaining both maternal and fetal health. Guided by Walker and Avant's method, the major attributes and outcomes are determined in this study.
conclusionHealthcare professionals can utilize this analysis to familiarize their institutions with the MHL concept, emphasize its importance, and apply it to practice. This contributes to enhancing the body of knowledge on MHL and potentially improving maternal health outcomes.
