Digital Health Literacy: A systematic review of interventions and their influence on healthcare access and sustainable development Goal-3 (SDG-3).
Review in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
This study explores how interventions focused on digital health literacy (DHL) can improve access to healthcare and contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goal-3 (SDG- 3). We scrutinized information from PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and Web of Science released search articles from March 1, 2020 to January 31, 2024. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, the review concentrated only on experimental studies that assessed how DHL initiatives have influenced enhancing patient health outcomes and access to healthcare. Research that did not cover DHL or the availability of healthcare, was not included. The analysis was primarily qualitative, focusing on thematic patterns and insights rather than statistical outcomes. Our results showed that DHL interventions typically result in enhanced health literacy, improved medication adherence, and higher self-confidence, particularly benefiting marginalized communities. Limitations to safe & accessible healthcare underscore the need for more focused and culturally appropriate strategies. This review shows that interventions by DHL can greatly enhance healthcare results, highlighting the need to tackle inequalities to ensure marginalized communities also benefit.
