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

Background: Parents of children treated in rehabilitation settings are required to have heightened health literacy (HL) skills due to the complexity of healthcare provision among this patient population. This novel mixed-method study explores HL among parents of children treated in a pediatric rehabilitation specialty clinic in Qatar, focusing on both Arabic and English-speaking parents. The primary objective is to assess HL among parents of children attending pediatric rehabilitation clinics in Qatar, examining key domains such as functional HL, critical HL, empowerment, and communicative HL. Methods: Participants were recruited through a self-selected sampling method, with data collected via the All Aspects of Health Literacy scale and qualitative interviews. The study was conducted between November 2021 and May 2022. The study analyzes the congruence between quantitative and qualitative findings to provide a comprehensive view of HL among caregivers. Results: The study highlighted the diverse demographics, including caregivers' educational backgrounds, age distribution, income, and children's diagnoses. While the English-speaking sample demonstrates nuanced comprehension and minimal reliance on external resources, the Arabic sample exhibits challenges in functional and critical HL, with some turning to Google for information. Both groups emphasized empowerment and communicative HL. The study underscores the need for tailored interventions, considering the diverse caregiver landscape, to optimize pediatric healthcare outcomes. The outcomes reveal a convergence of quantitative and qualitative data, indicating elevated HL levels among participants. Communicative HL emerges as a strength, while critical HL displays variability, particularly among Arabic-speaking parents. Conclusion: This research significantly contributes to understanding HL in pediatric rehabilitation, highlighting the need for tailored interventions considering the diverse parents' landscape.
