1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To qualitatively explore healthcare personnel's (HCP) experiences with health literacy sensitivity in relation to work satisfaction and stress. Being HL sensitive means that HCP have adequate knowledge, skills, and attitudes to follow up on patients' HL needs. Methods: Four focus group interviews were conducted with 30 hCP from a medium-sized general hospital in Oslo, Norway. We used inductive thematic analysis developed by Braun & Clark. NVivo v12 software assisted data analysis. Results: Three main themes were identified: (1) HCP experiences with HL (2) HCP experience barriers with HL sensitivity, and (3) HCP collaboration and communication are essential for HL. Variability in HL understanding among HCP may lead to challenges in providing patient-centered care. Factors such as heavy workloads, cultural barriers, and organizational limitations hinder HL sensitivity and can cause frustration and stress among HCP. Conclusion: Targeted interventions and organizational support are essential to address HCP's obstacles with HL sensitivity. Utilizing improved communication techniques and HL tools may help reduce stress and frustration. Practice Implications: To optimize HL sensitivity, it is imperative to prioritize HCP needs. Organizations should strive to facilitate HL in a way that does not impose additional stress on HCP.
