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
backgroundCoronary artery bypass graft surgery is a critical intervention for treatment of CAD. Self-care involves the knowledge and skills used daily to maintain health and self-esteem. Health literacy empowers patients to engage in health-related behaviors and perform appropriate self-care behaviors. This study aimed to assess how H-literacy and e-health literacy predict self-care in patients undergoing CABG surgery.
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted using convenience sampling on 192 patients who provided written informed consent. The inclusion criteria included subjects who were at least 18 years of age and underwent CABG procedure for the first time, at least one month after the operation, were free of hearing or speech impairments, no history of mental illness, ability to read and write, have access to the Internet via a mobile device. The exclusion criteria included the performance of concomitant surgical procedures concurrently with CABG surgery, such as heart valve replacement, and the occurrence of acute surgical complications, including bleeding, infection, and acute kidney failure. Data collected through four questionnaires including a demographic information questionnaire, a health literacy questionnaire, an electronic health literacy questionnaire, and a self-care questionnaire.
results192 participants between ages 40 and 85, with a mean age of 63.35 ± 9.87 years, including 114 males and 184 females were studied. Notably, only 9.4% of the participants had obtained an education beyond the level of a diploma. A significant direct relationship was identified between health literacy and self-care (p < 0.001; r = 0.344), while no significant relationship was observed for e-health literacy (p = 0.255; r = 0.082). The findings of multiple linear regression indicated that health literacy had a positive influenced on self-care (coefficient = 0.92, p < 0.001), while e-health literacy did not (p < 0.059).
conclusionsThe findings indicate that health literacy is a significant predictor of self-care in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients which highlights the need for healthcare officials to enhance public health literacy through educational initiatives.
