Health literacy of patients hospitalized for digestive surgeries.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 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
objectivesTo assess the health literacy (HL) of patients in the pre- or postoperative period of digestive surgeries and to verify associations with sociodemographic and clinical variables.
methodA cross-sectional study was carried out at a public hospital. Data were collected from October 2023 to July 2024, through the application of a form with sociodemographic and clinical data and the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ). Descriptive analyses, inferential statistical tests, and multiple linear regression were performed.
resultsOf the 319 participants, 78.4% were in the postoperative period at the time of data collection. Among HLQ scales, "Ability to actively engage with healthcare providers" received the best score (3.70 ± 0.69), while "Having sufficient information to manage my health" (2.73 ± 0.29) had the worst score. Education level, race, age, having children, living with other people, and having a caregiver were associated with HL (p < 0.05). In adjusted analysis, the variables remained associated, except for race, income, and operative period.
conclusionInteraction with professionals contributes to HL, while understanding and critically assessing health information weakens it. Lower education was the main factor associated with lower HL.
