Health Literacy Applications in Patients With Cancer.
Review in Clinical journal of oncology nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundOnly 12% of Americans have adequate health literacy (HL) skills; 36% have literacy skills at a basic or below-basic level. Increased HL can assist patients with cancer to make intentional and informed healthcare decisions.
objectivesThis article provides an overview of HL in patients with cancer. Risk factors, assessment, and strategies to communicate with patients and families who have limited HL skills are essential in providing holistic care. Considerations in addressing HL are also given for telehealth nurses.
methodsThe authors searched PubMed®, CINAHL®, Google Scholar™, and reputable websites for literature published from 2006 to 2024 about HL in patients with cancer. Some of the search terms were related to risk factors, HL assessment, and interventions to address low HL.
findingsRisks for low HL included lower education level and socioeconomic status, as well as non-White race, but an individualized assessment is important in identifying patients with low HL. Educating and communicating with patients and families with low HL in all settings, such as inpatient, ambulatory, and telehealth, include using a teach-back method to ensure understanding and application of information, using written materials at an appropriate reading level (fifth grade or less), and reinforcing teaching at consecutive visits.
