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 increasing global prevalence of asthma necessitates effective disease management, with patients and their families playing a central role. Enhancing health literacy (HL) among caregivers is critical to improving asthma outcomes. Purpose: This study aimed to validate the Arabic version of the Asthma Numeracy Questionnaire (Ar-ANQ) to address the gap in HL assessment tools for Arabic-speaking populations. Patients and Methods: A total of 400 parents of children with asthma completed the Ar-ANQ at an outpatient respiratory clinic. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Rasch analysis were employed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument. Results: CFA supported the unidimensional structure of the Ar-ANQ, with excellent model fit indices (χ²/df = 4.6, SRMR = 0.02, CFI = 0.99, GFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.96) and high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.82). Rasch analysis further demonstrated psychometric robustness, with high person and item separation reliabilities (0.74 and 0.99, respectively) and acceptable infit and outfit statistics. Conclusion: The Arabic version of the Asthma Numeracy Questionnaire (Ar-ANQ) is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing health literacy among parents of children with asthma.
