Health literacy of adults from primary care with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo relate health literacy of adults from primary health care with type 2 diabetes mellitus and sociodemographic and clinical variables.
methodDescriptive analytical cross-sectional study with 169 participants aged 18 to 65 with type 2 diabetes mellitus, from six primary care units in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Data collection took place from July 2023 to March 2024, and a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire was used, as well as subscales six and nine of the Health Literacy Questionnaire, Brazilian version. Data were analyzed descriptively and using Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney, Anova, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman tests.
resultsOf the 169 participants, the mean age was 56.5 ± 6.2 years. There was a significant association between the ability to interact with health professionals and male gender (p = 0.057), fasting blood glucose ≤ 130 mg/dL (p = 0.033), and between education and understanding health information and knowing what to do (p = <0.001). A weak correlation was found between understanding health information and knowing what to do and education and family income (r = 0.50 and 0.35, respectively) and significant value with glycated hemoglobin (p = 0.031).
conclusionThere was a relationship between health literacy and male gender, education, family income, and glycemic values. These results can contribute to the development of educational actions aimed at strengthening health literacy.
