Variations in digital health literacy for pediatric caregivers of hospitalized children: implications for digital health equity.
Article in Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesWe sought to assess whether race, ethnicity, and preferred language were associated with digital health literacy in pediatric caregivers. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used linear regression to measure associations between 3 eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) domains (score range: 1-4) and demographic characteristics.
resultsNon-Latinx White respondents (n = 230) had highest adjusted mean eHLQ scores: 3.44 (95% confidence interval: 3.36-3.52) in "Ability to engage," 3.39 (3.31 to 3.47) in "Feel safe and in control," and 3.34 (3.25 to 3.41) in "Motivated." By contrast, Spanish-preferring Latinx respondents (n = 246) had lower adjusted mean scores across all 3 eHLQ domains: 2.97 (P < .0001), 3.21 (P = .004), and 3.19 (P = .033), respectively. DISCUSSION: Our study contributes insights in variations across ethnoracial and language preference groups by different eHLQ domains, with implications for addressing digital health inequities.
conclusionDigital health literacy was lower in Spanish-preferring Latinx pediatric caregivers compared to non-Latinx White caregivers across 3 eHLQ domains. It was lower than English-preferring Latinx caregivers in "Ability."
