Relationship between health literacy, health fatalism and attitudes towards cancer screenings: latent profile analysis.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between health literacy, health fatalism and attitudes towards cancer screening using latent profile analysis (LPA).
methodsThis study was conducted in a cross-sectional descriptive design between December 2023- December 2024. The study was conducted with 1262 adult individuals living in a province in eastern Turkey.
resultsAs a result of LPA, Class 1 was named as "High Health Awareness" and when the indicators in Class 1 were analyzed, it was found that health literacy and attitude towards cancer screenings were high and health fatalism was low. Class 2 is labeled as "Low Health Awareness" and when the indicators in this class are examined, it is determined that health literacy and attitude towards cancer screening are low and health fatalism is high.
conclusionsIn our study, individuals were divided into two classes as "High Health Awareness" and "Low Health Awareness" according to the level of health awareness; in the first class, health literacy and attitudes towards cancer screenings were high and health fatalism was low; in the second class, health literacy and attitudes were low and health fatalism was high.
