Get Health'e': A Pilot Test of a Digital Health Literacy Intervention for Young Adults.
Trial report in Health literacy research and practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundYoung adults face a number of health concerns and are typically beginning to manage their health on their own. At the same time, this age group is more connected to digital technology than ever before, and studies show that young adults can struggle with digital health literacy skills.
objectiveThe online Get Health'e' Program consists of six modules addressing digital health literacy skills, including topics such as internet searches and social media. This study evaluates the program based on a usability and pilot study.
methodsRecruited participants ranged in age from 18 to 24 years and were predominantly White women. After an eligibility screening, half of the participants were randomly assigned to the program group. All 131 participants were administered two surveys, 2 weeks apart; the program group had access to the program for that week. Survey questions included demographics, the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), and six sets of five multiple-choice questions assessing digital health knowledge. KEY
resultsBoth groups showed an improvement of 1.0 points on the eHEALS scale, but a repeated measures analysis comparing scores for the program and control groups indicated no significant difference in score improvement between the two groups,
conclusionsThe Get Health'e' program was well received by participants and led to an increase in digital health knowledge. Programs like this have the potential to raise awareness among youth about how to access and evaluate health information online. [
