Characteristics of health literacy of older adults in care prevention classes: pilot study.

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
[Purpose] This pilot study aimed to assess the health literacy of urban community-dwelling older adults participating in exercise classes to inform future educational interventions. [Participants and Methods] We included 58 older adults from Ward A in Tokyo who attended exercise classes and completed a physical fitness assessment in November 2022. The participants were surveyed using a modified version of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire to evaluate their ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information for healthcare and disease prevention. [Results] Of the surveyed participants, 74% expressed that healthcare information easy to understand and apply, whilst 64% had difficulty appraising the information. Similarly, 74-90% expressed that accessing, understanding, and applying information related to disease prevention is easy; however, 52% struggled with appraising the information. [Conclusion] This study highlights a gap in the ability of older adults to critically evaluate health information, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to improve appraisal skills and support informed health decision-making.
