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.

The global attempts to control the HIV disease were emphasized, in the midst the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged as a pandemic. This study aimed to determine HL level and its relationship with COVID-19-prevention behaviors among people living with HIV(PLWH).
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 112 PLWH referred to behavioral disorders consulting center in Arak, Iran from May to December 2022. The data collection tool was a questionnaire including COVID-19 prevention behaviors (5 items) and a health literacy instrument (14 items). The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 18 and for all tests, the significance level of α was considered as 0.05.
resultsThe average (SD)age of the participants was 42.9 (10.6) and the education level of 11.6% of the participants were university. The mean score of HL was 3.5 (0.73) out of 5 and 36.6% of them had higher HL. The mean of behaviors was 17.2 (3.4) out of 25 and 53.6 had higher behaviors. The HL had a significant relationship with behaviors (r = 0.48; p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression indicated that HL had a significant association with age (P = 0.002), education (P = 0.046), and economic status (p < 0.001) and explained 32% of the variance of HL.
conclusionAccording to the findings, HL affected COVID-19-prevention behaviors. Effective educational interventions intended for PLWH based on health literacy can be useful to this extent.
