Maternal Health Literacy among Migrant Women: A Co-Design Study in Portugal.
Article in Portuguese journal of public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Migrant women often experience significant disparities in maternal health outcomes compared to host populations, due to language barriers, cultural differences, and limited maternal health literacy (MHL). Despite its importance, there is a shortage of tailored interventions specifically designed for migrant communities, namely, African migrant women in Europe. Methods: This qualitative study applied a co-design approach using the Optimizing Health Literacy and Access (Ophelia) methodology. Two separate idea generation workshops were conducted in Lisbon - one, involving pregnant migrant women ( Results: Three main themes emerged: (1) health literacy barriers (e.g., low digital literacy, lack of information, cultural and bureaucratic obstacles); (2) strengths and resources (e.g., personal resilience, proactive behaviours, and community associations); (3) co-created interventions (e.g., community support groups, culturally sensitive maternal education, and healthcare providers training). Conclusion: The study highlights the value of a participatory co-design approach in identifying context-specific, culturally relevant interventions to enhance MHL among African migrant women. The insights gained provide valuable direction for future research and policy development aimed at enhancing access to maternal healthcare for migrant populations.
