Health literacy: relationship with the perception of family functioning.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 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
Objectives: Health Literacy (HL) is influenced by health systems, education, the media, family, work environment, community and health policy decisions. The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between the level of HL and the perception of family functioning (FF) on the selected sample. Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, based on a sample comprised of 364 users of a Family Health Unit, in the north of Portugal. Data was obtained through the application of an online questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS software, using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The largest group of users had a HL level classified as sufficient or problematic, both at 35.7 %. The majority (76.4 %) considered themselves a highly functional family. The statistical mean of the general HL Index differed between users with different perception of FF (ANOVA: p=0.031), with users who perceived their family as highly functional obtaining the highest score. Conclusions: We found that HL is related to FF, and families that perceive themselves as highly functional families have a higher level of HL, reinforcing the relevance of interventions aimed at promoting family functioning.
