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
Background: When answering health-related questions, consumers turn to the internet to find answers. However, finding health information online can be challenging. Therefore, consumers need to develop suitable search and evaluation strategies. Finding, understanding, assessing, and applying health information requires digital health literacy. Hence, digital health literacy concerns individual and organizational levels. Against the background of social plurality and diversity, the skills and conditions of accessibility of marginalized communities have so far received little attention in this context. Objectives: This study examines the use of online health information in daily life from a post-migrant perspective which considers the local contexts of migrants in Germany as a vulnerability variable rather than the migration histories. The aim of this study was to take a post-migrant perspective and to ethnographically and collaboratively study the digital health information behavior of marginalized communities as well as to develop practical and culturally sensitive approaches for actors in health communication. Methods: Collaborative ethnographic field research on information behavior regarding health-related questions was carried out online from 10/2020-01/2021 in the marginalized urban district of Bochum Hustadt, Germany. Researchers from the urban neighborhood conducted guided interviews in their communities. The interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results and conclusion: The results indicate that language, content, and media aspects of online health information shape access to and handling of health information for individuals from marginalized communities. The post-migrant perspective challenges migration as a relevant category of analysis and explanation, while substantiating diversity and cultural sensitivity as central components of access to health information and the development of measures to strengthen digital health literacy in plural societies. There is a need for multilingual, transcultural, and technically barrier-free online health information as well as stronger interaction between individuals in a plural post-migrant society and online health communication.
