Latent profile and determinants of digital health literacy among older adult patients with chronic diseases: a cross-sectional study.
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 10 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
Objective: To examine the heterogeneity and determinants of digital health literacy among older adult patients with chronic diseases and provide evidence for targeted interventions. Methods: A convenience sample of 536 older adult patients with chronic diseases was recruited from three tertiary hospitals in Anhui Province between October 2023 and May 2024. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, including the Digital Health Literacy Assessment Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Brief Symptom Rating Scale, Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, and the age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted in Mplus 8.3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0 to identify literacy profiles and their associated factors. Results: The mean digital health literacy score was 41.36 (SD = 12.8), with an average item score of 2.76 (SD = 0.85). LPA identified three profiles: C1-Low Literacy, Passive Interaction ( Conclusion: Digital health literacy among older adult patients with chronic diseases was generally low, particularly in interactive skills, with significant heterogeneity across subgroups. Tailored strategies that address the unique needs of each profile are essential to improve digital health literacy in this population.
