Health literacy and its sociodemographic and health determinants.
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
objectiveTo assess health literacy and its sociodemographic and clinical associations among users of an emergency care unit.
methodA cross-sectional study was conducted in a 24-hour emergency care unit in southern Brazil, with a sample of 550 users (≥18 years). A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire was applied, along with scales 1 to 5 of the Health Literacy Questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed (Student's t-test and ANOVA; p ≤ 0.05).
resultsThe highest averages were found in "social support" (2.95 ± 0.60) and "information assessment" (2.71 ± 0.44), and the lowest in "sufficient information" (2.64 ± 0.49) and "professional understanding" (2.69 ± 0.58). Higher scores were associated with female sex (p = 0.021), age >40 years old (p ≤ 0.044), living together (p = 0.045; p = 0.010), cohabitation (p = 0.008), higher income (p = 0.006; p = 0.007), and higher own or parents' education level (p ≤ 0.038). Reading habits were associated with all dimensions (p ≤ 0.005). Health problem (p ≤ 0.023), adherence to treatment (p < 0.05), recent service search (p ≤ 0.037), and seek for information from professionals (p = 0.001) also influenced the scores.
conclusionHealth literacy varied significantly according to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics among users.
