The Impact of e-Health Literacy on Risk Perception Among University Students.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased public interest in e-health literacy, especially among university students. However, gaps remain in their ability to find and use credible online health information. PURPOSE: This study explores the effects of public health emergencies on e-health literacy among Chinese university students, aiming to identify influencing factors and propose solutions to improve digital health education.
methodsA structured survey using the eHEALS scale and additional questionnaires was administered to 300 students in Northern China. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0, focusing on literacy levels and their determinants.
resultsThe pandemic heightened interest in e-health, leading to modest improvements in literacy levels. However, challenges persist, including evaluating the credibility of information and addressing privacy concerns. Apps emerged as the most widely used e-health tools. DISCUSSION: Findings highlight the importance of targeted health education programs to bridge gaps in e-health literacy and support students in effectively using digital health tools. The results emphasize integrating privacy safeguards and enhancing user trust in e-health systems.
conclusionsEnhancing e-health literacy can empower students to make informed health decisions, fostering better self-management and resilience during public health crises.
