1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundOrganisational health literacy (OHL) is increasingly recognised as a system-level strategy to address health literacy-related inequities in healthcare, yet evaluation of practical OHL tools and frameworks remain limited. This study aimed to examine the implementation experiences of the Danish OS! to inform refinements, and to examine the feasibility of the refined version, renamed OHL-Act, in practice.

methodsA two-phase study guided by the RE-AIM framework was conducted. Phase 1 comprised a formative evaluation of OS! based on interviews from previous applications, informing refinement. Phase 2 involved feasibility testing of OHL-Act in a specialised diabetes centre.

resultsAcross implementing organisations, OS! was experienced as a practical approach supporting reflection and the generation of OHL improvement ideas, while also revealing barriers. These insights informed refinements, including clearer language, more structured facilitation guidance, and explicit prompts addressing health literacy challenges and high-risk situations. Feasibility findings indicated that OHL-Act could be delivered as intended and was perceived as acceptable, relevant, and useful in supporting reflection and the generation of OHL improvement ideas.

conclusionsOHL-Act represents a structured, co-creational approach to support OHL work. Further research is needed to examine how generated improvement ideas translate into sustained action and their potential implications for equity.
