1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Understanding health literacy is critical to making informed decisions in healthcare. To date, there are no studies regarding the landscape of health literacy in patients undergoing lung transplant evaluation. In this single center prospective pilot study, patients undergoing evaluation for lung transplantation participated in a pre-transplant education class followed by an educational assessment administered electronically. The Brief Health Literacy Screening Tool (BRIEF) was then electronically administered to assess health literacy among patients. Thirty patients participated. Most patients (77%) demonstrated adequate health literacy. The pre-transplant education assessment score and BRIEF survey scores correlated (R=0.43 [95% CI 0.06-0.70, P =0.025]). Inadequate/marginal health literacy was seen in 13% (2/16) of patients listed for transplant and 36% (5/14) of patients not listed for transplant (p=0.37).
