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
to identify the association between health literacy and sociodemographic and clinical variables of hospitalized patients in people hospitalized with chronic diseases. this was a cross-sectional study of patients with chronic illnesses admitted to a general hospital. A sociodemographic/clinical questionnaire and the Health Literacy Questionnaire comprising nine scales measured by scores, were used, with descriptive and inferential data analysis. Social Support for Health was associated with the level of primary education (p=0.009). Understanding and Support from Health Professionals were related to the length of chronic illness (p=0.044). Evaluation of Health Information was associated with age (p=0.001), being able to read (p=0.010) and write (p=0.032). Navigating the Health System was also associated with age (p=0.018), as was the Ability to Find Good Health Information (p=0.002) and being able to read (p=0.010), and Understanding Health Information Well Enough to Know What to Do was associated with age (p=0.001) and being able to write (p=0.010). schooling, age group, length of time with a chronic illness, and being able to read and write interfere with health literacy. This highlights the need for personalized strategies that take these variables into account in order to improve health literacy in hospitalized populations.
