A study on digital literacy and influencing factors among Chinese seafarers.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Digital literacy and skills have become critical indicators of international competitiveness, gaining attention across all sectors. As digital transformation accelerates, the shipping industry, a pivotal center of global trade, faces new challenges. The advent of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) further heightens the demand for enhanced digital literacy among seafarers. This study, guided by UNESCO's Digital Literacy Global Framework (DLGF) and incorporating specific digital skill requirements for seafarers alongside the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) regulations, developed a tailored survey to assess the digital literacy of Chinese seafarers. Using an online survey, responses from 321 seafarers were collected, with participants selected based on professional experience across various maritime positions. The study examines the impact of factors such as education level, maritime experience, job position, and IT training on digital literacy levels. Results indicate that, overall, seafarers' digital literacy is moderate, though those who participated in IT training show enhanced competencies. However, the study's focus on Chinese seafarers may limit the generalizability of the findings to the broader, multinational seafaring population. Further research with more diverse samples is necessary to improve the applicability of the results to global seafaring contexts.
