Cancer health literacy profile in Argentine oncology patients.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Cancer Health Literacy is the individual's ability to seek, understand, evaluate and use basic information and services necessary to make appropriate decisions regarding cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to analyse the Health Literacy Profile of Argentine cancer patients. Methodology: A non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. A non-probabilistic sampling method was applied and 500 adult cancer patients who provided their consent participated. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Cancer Health Literacy Test were administered. Data were collected through mixed methods and analysed using R Studio. Results: The average Cancer Health Literacy score was 22.01 points (SD = 5.68, Mdn = 24), with 73% of patients classified at an intermediate level. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that educational level and information-seeking behaviour regarding diet and cancer were significant contributing factors to this construct, explaining 30.6% of its variability (adjusted Conclusion: Cancer Health Literacy was associated with educational level and nutritional information-seeking behaviour. Measuring these factors in clinical practice contributes to evidence-based care.
