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: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading cause of death, with a rising incidence worldwide. Effective disease management requires health literacy (HL) interventions to optimize patients' self-management. However, difficulties in communication between patients and healthcare providers often impede improvements in HL. While HL interventions should prioritize enhancing communication quality, current evidence supporting this approach remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a Health Literacy Enhancement (HLE) program on CKD knowledge, self-management behaviors, and clinical outcomes in people with CKD. Methods: A quasi-experimental study using a two-group pretest-posttest design was conducted from December 2022 to March 2023. Fifty-two participants with stage 3 to 4 CKD, recruited from outpatient CKD clinics in two district hospitals in Central Thailand, were divided into two groups. Participants in the experimental group ( Results: Following the HLE Program, the experimental group had a significantly higher score in CKD knowledge ( Conclusion: The HLE program can enhance effective patient-provider communication using plain language, leading to significant improvements in CKD knowledge and SMBs, as well as clinical outcomes, including eGFR and BP. Nurses should implement this program to enhance HL in people with CKD, leading to effective self-management and helping slow the progression of the disease.
