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

aimThis study aims to investigate the extent to which Turkish nurses and allied health workers' levels of health literacy predict health-promoting and protective behaviours. DESING: A descriptive and cross-sectional study design was used.

methodsThe study was conducted with 403 Turkish nurses and allied health workers working in different regions of Türkiye between January and May 2024. JASP 0.18.3.0, Jamovi 2.3.21, and SPSS 26 and AMOS26 programs were used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics and simple and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data.

resultsA positive, moderately significant relationship was found between health literacy and health-promoting and protective behaviours (r = 0.460, p < 0.001). Regression analysis results showed that health literacy explained 21.1% (R PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Understanding the predictive effect of health literacy and preventive health behaviours can guide practices and policies that will improve the level of health literacy and preventive health behaviours in healthcare workers. Improving their health literacy and preventive health behaviours can help patients and the general public increase their health literacy levels and gain positive health behaviours.
