Generic health literacy of adults in Germany. Results of the Panel 'Health in Germany' 2024.
Article in Journal of health monitoring, 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
Background: Generic health literacy (HL) encompasses cross-thematic and cross-contextual skills, motivation and knowledge in dealing with health information. Low HL is associated with higher healthcare needs and unfavourable health behaviours. Method: Data from the RKI Panel 2024 (n = 26,817) will be used to provide a current overview of HL among adults. HL was measured using the HLS Results: 81.3 % of women and 81.0 % of men have lower HL. With increasing age, the proportion of women with lower HL tends to decrease up to the 65 - 79 age group, whereas this trend is not observed in men. The group with high education has the lowest proportion of lower HL in both sexes. Conclusions: The results indicate a substantial need for action promoting HL. This should not primarily focus on individual capabilities, but rather, services and structures should be designed in a way that enables health-literate behaviour.
