Association of health literacy with quality of life and health outcomes among school-age children in Japan: A cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Health literacy is a modifiable determinant of health with the potential to enhance public health. An association between health literacy and health-related quality of life has been reported. Although each country has developed their own original health literacy scales, the assessment of adolescent health literacy using the Health Literacy Scale for School-Aged Children has not yet been studied in Japan. In this study, we aimed to clarify the factors associated with adolescents' health literacy and examine the relationship between health literacy, health-related behaviors, and health-related quality of life in Japan. Participants were recruited by a research company using registered monitors (1st- to 3rd-year junior high school students and their mothers living in Japan in August 2023). Multivariate regression analysis was performed using the total EuroQoL Five Dimensions, Youth Version scores. SAS software was used for data analysis. Overall, 1,854 adolescents and their mothers participated in the online survey. Factors associated with Health Literacy Scale for School-Aged Children included physical activity, sleep conditions in health-related behaviors, parental communication, parental health literacy, and health-related quality of life. Furthermore, parental health literacy was associated to children's quality of life. Our study showed the influence of family variables, highlighting the need for tailored approaches that consider parents' health literacy levels.
