Determinants of self-reported health literacy among older adults in South Korea: 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 2 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: This study aimed to identify the determinants of self-reported health literacy among older adults aged 65 years and above in South Korea. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2021 Korean Health Panel Survey, including 4,220 participants aged 65 and above. Statistical analyses such as t-tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression were conducted to examine the effects of personal characteristics and health behaviors on self-reported health literacy. Results: The analysis revealed that men, younger participants, those with spouses, higher education levels, and individuals engaging in positive health behaviors-including non-smoking, non-drinking, and regular exercise-had significantly higher levels of self-reported health literacy. Conclusion: These findings suggest the importance of developing targeted strategies to improve health literacy among older adults, particularly focusing on personal characteristics and health behaviors that are associated with higher health literacy.
