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: Digital technologies have become major sources of health information; however, individuals' ability to integrate such information varies according to their health literacy (HL) and eHealth literacy (e-HL). In concussion management, accurate knowledge and appropriate attitudes are important for symptom recognition and healthcare-seeking behaviors. Nevertheless, the relationships among HL, e-HL, and concussion-related knowledge and attitudes remain poorly understood. Objective: To evaluate the associations of HL and e-HL with concussion-related knowledge and attitudes among parents in South Korea and to examine the indirect associations between HL and these outcomes through e-HL. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among parents in South Korea. HL and e-HL were assessed using the Korean version of the HLS-EU-Q16 and the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), respectively. Outcome variables were concussion-related knowledge and attitudes. Observed-variable mediation analyses were used to statistically decompose the associations of HL with these outcomes into direct and indirect components through e-HL. An exploratory sequential mediation model additionally evaluated whether concussion-related knowledge was involved in the indirect association between HL and concussion-related attitudes. Results: In total, 260 participants completed the survey. HL was positively correlated with e-HL ( Conclusion: Higher HL was associated with more favorable concussion-related attitudes, but not with concussion-related knowledge. An indirect association between HL and concussion-related attitudes was observed through e-HL, but not through concussion-related knowledge. This indirect association was consistent with the hypothesized model but did not establish temporal precedence or causal mediation. These findings suggest that future concussion education strategies may benefit from strengthening both HL and e-HL alongside the provision of factual concussion information.
