Association between older people's health literacy and sociodemographic aspects, functioning, happiness, and perception of the COVID-19 pandemic: a preliminary study.
Observational study in CoDAS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
purposeTo analyze the association between older people's health literacy and sociodemographic aspects, functioning, happiness, and perception of the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsThis is a preliminary, cross-sectional, analytical, observational study with 37 older adults of both sexes. It used the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria, WHODAS 2.0, SAHLPA-18, WHO-5 Well-Being Index, and Subjective Happiness Scale, estimated the perception of the pandemic through a questionnaire developed by the authors, and performed descriptive analysis, association analysis using the Pearson chi-square test, and Spearman correlation.
resultsMost participants had inadequate functional health literacy (FHL) results. A higher percentage of individuals from social classes C and D-E had inadequate FHL. The low education level was associated with an inadequate FHL. Most participants with adequate FHL reported feeling "calm and relaxed" for more than half the time or all the time. The SAHLPA-18 score was weakly negatively correlated with the Cognition and Self-Care domains of WHODAS 2.0, indicating that better health literacy is associated with better cognitive and self-care conditions.
conclusionOlder people with better health literacy had better cognitive ability, better self-care management, higher education levels, and better quality of life.
