The middle-aged and elderly health literacy scale Turkish adaptation.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundInadequate health literacy in old age limits access to basic health services. The aim of this study is to translate the "China Rural Middle-Aged and Elderly Health Literacy Scale (CREHLS)" developed by Wu et al. (2024) into Turkish and to conduct psychometric validity and reliability analyses of this translation.
methodsThe sample of the study consisted of 338 elderly individuals (average age 64.8 years, 53% female) living in Izmir, Türkiye. Since there were 26 items in the scale, the sample size was increased to 338 individuals in order to perform CFA, although 260 was sufficient. Data collection tools were CREHLS and Personal Information Form.
resultsThe Spearman-Brown split-half reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.935. The item-total correlation values of the scale were above 0.5, generally ranging between 0.7 and 0.8. The sample size adequacy for factor analysis was excellent, with a value of 0.956. Overall, the scale was determined to be reliable and consistent.
conclusionThese results indicate that the CREHLS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the health literacy levels of elderly Turkish individuals.
