Associations of eHealth Literacy with Diabetes Self-Efficacy and Glycemic Parameters in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes and Prediabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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/
objectiveseHealth literacy may support diabetes self-management, but its relationships with diabetes self-efficacy and glycemic outcomes remain unclear. This study examined these associations among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes and evaluated whether the observed association between eHealth literacy and HbA1c was statistically consistent with an indirect association through diabetes self-efficacy.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 273 adults with T2DM or prediabetes attending an internal medicine outpatient clinic in Türkiye. Data were collected using the eHealth Literacy Scale, Diabetes Self-Efficacy Scale, and a clinical characteristics form; HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose values were obtained from medical records. Correlation, regression, and bootstrapped statistical indirect-association analyses were performed.
resultseHealth literacy was positively associated with diabetes self-efficacy (rho = 0.310,
conclusionsThis study provides correlational evidence that eHealth literacy is associated with diabetes self-efficacy and that this relationship may partly account for the observed statistical association between eHealth literacy and glycemic control. The cross-sectional design precludes conclusions regarding temporal or causal mediation.
