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

Health literacy (HL) is an important decision factor for health. Both low HL and low physical function cause adverse events in cardiovascular disease patients, but their relationship is not well documented. To clarify the relationship between HL and physical function of patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation and calculate the cutoff value of the 14-item HL scale (HLS) for low handgrip strength, this multicenter clinical study named the Kobe-Cardiac Rehabilitation project for people around the World (K-CREW) was conducted among four affiliated hospitals with patients who underwent cardiac rehabilitation. We used the 14-item HLS to assess HL, and the main outcomes were handgrip strength and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score. The study included 167 cardiac rehabilitation patients with a mean age of 70.5 ± 12.8 years, and the ratio of males was 74%. Among them, 90 patients (53.9%) had low HL and scored significantly lower in both handgrip strength and SPPB. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that HL was a determinant factor (β = 0.118, p = 0.04) for handgrip strength. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed the cutoff value of the 14-item HLS for screening for low handgrip strength was 47.0 points, and the area under the curve was 0.73. This study showed that HL was significantly associated with handgrip strength and SPPB in cardiac rehabilitation patients and suggests the possibility of early screening for low HL to improve physical function in cardiac rehabilitation patients with low HL.
