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: To understand the level of e-health literacy among sports majors and its influencing factors, providing reference for developing measures to improve e-health literacy in this population. Methods: An online survey was conducted among college students from 6 universities in Jiangsu Province using an e-health literacy questionnaire. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for χ Results: Among the 923 respondents, 722 (78.2%) were male and 201 (21.8%) were female. The average e-health literacy score was 41.91 ± 6.90, with an adequate rate of 22.2% (205 individuals). Influencing factor analysis showed that ethnicity (95%CI: -3.641 ~ -0.408), gender (95%CI: 1.292 ~ 3.445), self-rated health status compared with peers (95%CI: -1.276 ~ -0.100), use of smart wearable devices (95%CI: 0.100 ~ 0.794), harmony with surrounding people (95%CI: 0.379 ~ 1.733), frequency of searching health knowledge on the Internet (95%CI: 0.246 ~ 1.099), computer proficiency (95%CI: 0.230 ~ 1.569), days waking up feeling energetic in the morning (95%CI: 0.188 ~ 1.207), frequency of consuming fish, poultry, meat and eggs (95%CI: 0.194 ~ 1.331), and types of health knowledge content searched (95%CI: 0.023 ~ 1.556) were significant factors affecting e-health literacy among college students. Conclusion: The e-health literacy level of sports majors is relatively low, with associated factors spanning multiple dimensions. Targeted interventions should prioritize male students, those with poorer self-rated health, and those with weaker interpersonal relationships. Strengthening digital skills and active information practice is a key strategy for improving e-health literacy in this population.
