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

backgroundIndividuals with visual impairments face multiple challenges in self-care and health management. However, the health behaviors of this minority group have been underexplored, as have the factors influencing their health-promoting behaviors. This study aimed to examine the association between health literacy and health-promoting behaviors in individuals with visual impairments. MATERIALS AND

methodsA cross-sectional online survey was conducted using an accessible web-based questionnaire developed by the research team. Survey data were collected from 2,447 adults with low vision and blindness residing in the United States between September 1, 2023, and October 2, 2023. The Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) were used to measure health literacy and health-promoting behaviors, respectively. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted using R software.

resultsA total of 2,425 participants were included in the statistical analysis, with 63.6% being female. The mean age of all participants was 37.45 years (SD = 9.30). There was a strong positive correlation between health literacy and health-promoting behaviors (r = 0.66,

conclusionThe study discussed the potential impact of health literacy on the health behaviors of individuals with visual impairments. These findings underscore the need for adapted and personalized health education programs for this disability group.
