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
objectiveTo describe and analyze the functional health literacy of lactating women treated at a Human Milk Bank in Maranhão.
methodCross-sectional, descriptive study, carried out between August 2023 and March 2024, at the Milk Bank of a public university hospital in Northeast Brazil, using a validated health literacy scale.
resultsA total of 187 lactating women participated, of which 56.15% had inadequate health literacy. There was a significant association between health literacy and the Mini Mental State Examination, with a greater probability of inadequate literacy among younger women (67.1%), with finished elementary education (91.7%), unfinished secondary education (91.7%), and income below one minimum wage (95%). Association tests (Chi-square) were applied, with significance at p < 0.05, highlighting the association between literacy and age (p = 0.00697).
conclusionMost of the lactating women evaluated presented inadequate health literacy, showing the importance of educational strategies as a basis for health promotion and improvement of the care provided to this population.
