Efficacy of Health Literacy Interventions for Caregivers of Individuals with Neurodevelopmental and Chronic Conditions: A Rapid Review.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesCaregivers of individuals with neurodevelopmental and chronic health conditions require health literacy (HL) skills for the long-term management of these conditions. The aim of this rapid review was to investigate the efficacy of HL interventions for these caregivers.
methodsFive databases (Cochrane Central, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) were searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they reported the efficacy of any intervention aimed at improving the HL of caregivers of individuals with a neurodevelopmental disorder or chronic condition and assessed caregiver HL. All original intervention study designs were eligible, as were systematic reviews. Studies had to be published in English since 2000; grey literature was excluded. The review was registered before commencement with PROSPERO (CRD42023471833).
resultsThere were 3389 unique records, of which 28 papers (reporting 26 studies) were included. In these studies, 2232 caregivers received interventions through a wide range of media (online, group, written materials, one-to-one, video, phone, and text messages). Research designs were classified as Levels I (
conclusionsHL interventions for caregivers of individuals with neurodevelopmental and chronic conditions can improve health-related outcomes and caregivers' HL. Longer and more intensive HL programs may be more likely to be effective, but attention must be paid to participant retention.
