Association Between Self-Rated Health and eHealth Literacy in Higher Vocational Nursing Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimTo examine the association between self-rated health and eHealth literacy among higher vocational nursing students.
designCross-sectional study.
methodsUsing stratified random cluster sampling, 727 nursing students from a vocational college in Henan Province, China, were recruited. Multiple linear regression analysis assessed the association, adjusting for confounders such as sociodemographic characteristics, family socioeconomic status and academic stress.
resultsAfter adjusting for covariates, participants with poor self-rated health had significantly lower eHealth literacy scores than those with good health. Participants reporting fair self-rated health also had significantly lower scores; though the difference was substantially smaller.
conclusionSelf-rated health is significantly associated with eHealth literacy among higher vocational nursing students. Whether interventions combining health management and digital skills training can improve eHealth literacy in this population remains to be tested in future longitudinal and intervention studies. IMPACT: Despite the large proportion of higher vocational nursing students in China's nursing workforce, evidence linking their health perceptions to digital competencies remains limited. Poorer self-rated health was associated with markedly lower eHealth literacy, identifying this population as a potential priority group for future studies on combined health-management and digital-literacy support.
