Reconceptualizing Health Literacy to End Confusions: An Umbrella Review Research.
Review in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 and Aims: The evolving definitions and interpretations of health literacy have created confusion, potentially hindering the development of effective interventions and policies. This umbrella review aimed to comprehensively evaluate systematic reviews (SRs) that provided definitions and conceptualizations of health literacy, with the goal of categorizing and clarifying the available information and eliminating inconsistencies. Methods: This study followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for umbrella reviews. In July 2023, nine databases and two organizational websites were systematically searched. Based on predefined eligibility criteria, 14 SRs were identified for critical appraisal. Two researchers independently evaluated the methodological quality of each SR using the JBI checklist. In the critical appraisal process, low-quality SRs were excluded ( Results: Following the assessment process, 11 SRs were included in the study. Six studies redefined the concept of health literacy after the systematic review of the primary studies. Also, in four SRs, a theoretical framework or a conceptual model of health literacy had been presented. Based on the thematic analysis of 11 studies, various and numerous themes for health literacy ( Conclusion: Our umbrella reviews redefined health literacy in line with public health discourse to inform future research and interventions. The resulting conceptual framework and the proposed definition could be practical and easy to use for health literacy research.
