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

Objective: This study aims to investigate the factors influencing eHealth literacy among patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to provide a reference for clinical interventions. Methods: From April 2025 to December 2025, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among patients diagnosed with OSAHS. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the eHealth Literacy Scale, the Health Information Seeking Behavior Scale, the Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale, the Social Support Scale, and the OSAHS Patient Self-Management Ability Questionnaire. Pearson or Spearman rank correlation coefficients were selected to conduct correlation analyses, aiming to explore the relationships among health information seeking behavior, information self-efficacy, social support, and eHealth literacy. Variables demonstrating statistical significance in the correlation analyses were then included in a multiple linear regression model to ultimately identify the factors influencing eHealth literacy in patients with OSAHS. Results: The study included 241 patients. The mean eHealth literacy score was 22.28±7.68, and the health information seeking behavior score was 141.00±20.16. The mean self-efficacy score was 9.20±2.96, social support score was 37.80±6.99, and self-management ability score was 62.51±13.76. Correlation analysis indicated that eHealth literacy was positively correlated with health information seeking behavior, self-efficacy, social support, and self-management ability ( Conclusion: eHealth literacy among patients with OSAHS is at a low level. Meanwhile, family education level, duration of online health information seeking, health information behavior, information needs, information sources, barriers to information access, social support, and life management skills have all been confirmed as significant predictors of eHealth literacy. Medical staff should assess patients' eHealth literacy and use identified factors to develop targeted strategies for improving self-management.
