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 includes cognitive and social skills that enable individuals to understand and use health information effectively. In addition, it significantly influences health outcomes in society. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) often have low health literacy and need better education. Therefore, this study explored the link between health literacy and general health in these women.
methodsThis study involved 200 women with GDM referred to the Diabetes Clinic in Hamadan, Iran. The participants were selected through consecutive sampling, and the required data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, a health literacy questionnaire, and a general health questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS with a 95% confidence level.
resultsThe mean age of women was 29.63 years, and the mean±standard deviation (SD) of health literacy score was 77.41±16.44. Further, the mean±SD of the general health questionnaire score was 21.02±6.01. There was a positive correlation between health literacy and general health (
conclusionHealth literacy plays an essential role in managing GD and promoting general health for pregnant women. This subsequently leads to reduced postpartum complications for the mother and baby, as well as reduced healthcare costs.
