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: Health literacy (HL) plays a crucial role in how people make decisions in their daily living activities. Considering the critical role of HL among household health ambassadors (HAs) in promoting their health and that of their households, this study aimed to examine the HL of household HAs in Iran. Methods: In this HL survey, a number of 2183 household HAs from 18 cities of East Azarbaijan province was recruited to participate in the study. The data were collected applying the Health Literacy for Iranian Adults (HELIA) Questionnaire via an online link, which were then analyzed applying multivariate linear regression with enter method by using SPSS version 19. Results: The results revealed an average HL score of 14.96 (SD 3.21). Among the participants, approximately 8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 5.13-11.62] (n=174) exhibited poor HL, while 41.2% [95% CI: 37.45-51.32] (n=899) demonstrated moderate and 50.8% [95% CI: 42.87-59.23] (n=1109) achieved good levels of HL. Conclusion: Our findings emphasized the urgent need to assess and enhance the HL of household HAs in a developing country, like Iran. Notably, about half of participants exhibited poor or moderate levels of HL. This trend underscores the vital role that HAs play in promoting HL and facilitating individual self-care within their communities. To empower these ambassadors, it is crucial to implement innovative and targeted strategies that effectively boost their HL.
