Health literacy profiles correlate with participation in primary health care among patients with chronic diseases: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: Given the persistent, complex, and diverse health needs of chronic disease patients, their health literacy and active participation in the process of primary health service delivery has gained increasing attention. This study aimed to identify the potential profiles of patient health literacy, examine the sociodemographic and health factors associated with these profiles, and investigate the relationship between health literacy profiles and patient participation in primary health care (PHC). Methods: A multistage stratified sampling method was adopted to conduct a cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 911 patients with chronic diseases in Shandong Province, China, between July and August 2023. Results: Three distinct latent profiles were identified: low health literacy group (10.98%), moderate health literacy group (56.86%), and high health literacy group (32.16%). Age, marital status, residency, occupational status, education level, personal monthly income, and health status had statistically significant effects on patient health literacy profiles ( Conclusion: This study's findings underscore the need for tailored interventions to enhance patient health literacy. In addition, the findings offer valuable insights for enhancing health literacy in facilitating patient participation in PHC.
