Interventions Addressing Health Literacy in Cancer Care: A Systematic Review of Reviews.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
(1) Background: Interventions addressing the health literacy (HL) of people suffering from an illness such as cancer can improve the understanding of the illness and lead to better-adapted behaviors, regarding the participation in cancer screenings, adhering to the complex multimodal therapy, participating in cancer treatment, and self-managing everyday health. This study provides a review of systematic reviews that include intervention articles addressing the HL of patients, healthcare professionals, and/or organizations in cancer, to identify the factors related to their effectiveness, as well as the missing elements, in light of the recent developments in HL research and practice. (2) Methods: A literature search was performed in Embase, Pubmed, PsycINFO, and Science Direct. Existing published reviews of studies targeting the interventions in the oncology domain, and which explicitly mentioned HL as a factor/outcome, were included. (3) Results: One hundred and fifty-five studies were retrieved. Ten fit the criteria and were included in this review. (4) Conclusions: Most of the interventions addressing HL in people with cancer included the target patients' information and communication skills through education. To keep the full scope of the concept, as investigated in the recent literature, clinical applications of HL in patients with cancer should also consider organizational HL.
