Media and information literacy among mothers in the 21st century: A scoping review protocol.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Media and information literacy (MIL) is one of the most essential competencies people need in the 21st century. Although extensive research has focused on children and students, the MIL status of mothers, who are not only huge seekers and consumers of media and information but also crucial interventionists in family MIL, remains in its infancy. Objective The objective of this scoping review is to systematically map the existing studies on mothers' MIL in the 21st century. Specifically, it aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of relevant research; clarify the condition of mothers' MIL in the 21st century; summarize the theoretical frameworks and measurement methodologies; and identify key influencing variables. Inclusion criteria All primary or peer-reviewed articles on mothers' MIL published after 2000 will be included, regardless of language or region. There are no participant restrictions, such as age, region, marital status, etc. All relevant concepts, such as "computer literacy," "digital literacy," "Information and Communications Technology (ICT) literacy," "information literacy," "MIL," "media literacy," "news literacy," "social media literacy," "technology literacy," and "visual literacy" are included. Methods The review will adhere to the JBI's Scoping Review Guidelines and utilize the PRISMA-ScR reporting standards. A comprehensive search strategy based on the PCC framework will be applied across four databases: Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCOhost and Taylor& Francis. Two reviewers will separately search the databases in a two-round screening and extract data using a designated extraction instrument to respond to review queries. The search strategy and the instrument had been refined through a pilot test. A PRISMA flow diagram will be used to depict the entire screening procedure. Registration This scoping review protocol has been registered in the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/2N5V7).
