Mapping the Landscape of Environmental Health Literacy: Trends, Gaps, and Future Directions.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. 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
Environmental Health Literacy (EHL) empowers individuals and communities to understand and make informed decisions about health and the environment. This study uses bibliometric indicators to map the field, identifying patterns, emerging trends, and gaps that offer opportunities for future research. We analyze 152 articles from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The first publication was recorded in 2012, and there was a significant increase in output since 2018. The literature emphasizes environmental exposures and public health, with a growing focus on social justice and participatory research. While areas such as environmental exposure, environmental health, health literacy, and participatory research are well established, significant gaps remain in emerging and cross-cutting themes, including education, health risks, environmental/climate justice, community engagement, communication, and climate-related health literacy. These issues are increasingly central to debates on the intersection of health, environment, and social equity, as they are key to advancing environmental justice, reducing health inequalities, and empowering vulnerable populations to make informed decisions, contributing to the development of more inclusive and effective public policies.
