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
backgroundHealth literacy refers to the ability of individuals to obtain, understand, and use health information. The objective of our study was to assess the literacy level of students at Joseph KI-ZERBO University in 2024. METHODS AND MATERIAL: It was a cross-sectional study with analytical purpose carried out from January 15 to June 15, 2024, among students of the University Joseph KI-ZERBO (Ouagadougou) in 2024. A stratified two-stage sampling was carried out, proportionally distributing the participants according to the number of each UFR/Institute, which served as main strata. The sample was determined according to their relative weight in the total population. Cluster analysis was performed using a hierarchical classification to assess student health literacy.
resultsThe study population consisted of 53.76% men, mostly aged 21 to 25 (60.09%), and single (95.93%). The majority were licentiate 1 (38.07%), Burkinabe nationality (99.27%), and nonscholarship holders (80.37%). More than half had no health insurance (90.83%) and resided in urban areas (93.48%). It shows that most students face challenges in health literacy, particularly in their ability to actively manage their health, with a score of 2.53, and in their understanding of health information, with a score of 3.05.
conclusionsThe study found an adequate level of health literacy among UJKZ students, but challenges remain in proactively managing their health and understanding health information.
