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
backgroundCardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality worldwide. Health literacyplays an important role in reducing the risk of these diseases. This study was conducted to evaluate The Impact of Educational Intervention on Enhancing the Health Literacy among Middle-Aged Individuals at Risk for Cardiovascular Diseases.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted in 2024 in Shahrekord city, Iran. Initially, a suitable instrument was developed, then, appropriate educational content was designed. In the third phase, the educational intervention was implemented with the participation of 50 individuals in the intervention group and 50 in the control group. A pre-test was administered simultaneously in both groups, followed by a post-test immediately after the intervention and another three months later. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27 software and non-parametric statistical tests including the Mann-Whitney U test, Friedman test, and Wilcoxon test.
resultsThe mean score of health literacy and its dimensions showed no significant difference between the intervention and control groups before the educational intervention (p > 0.05 for all cases). However, these scores increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group both immediately after and three months post-education (p < 0.01 for all cases).
conclusionThe findings indicate the effectiveness of the educational intervention in improving health literacy and its dimensions among individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases. These results emphasize the importance of incorporating structured educational programs in the national health system.
