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

aimThis study was conducted to determine the relationship between women's health literacy level and gynaecologic cancer prevention information.

methodsThe research design was descriptive and correlational. A sample of 264 women was recruited, and the research was conducted within the outpatient clinics of a state hospital situated in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. Data collection was carried out using the Information Form, Health Literacy Scale and Gynecological Cancer Prevention Information Scale. Prior to the study, ethical approval, institutional permission and informed consent were received. Because the data were normally distributed, t-tests and one-way ANOVA tests were used to evaluate differences between independent groups.

resultsThe mean age was 41.98 ± 14.03 years. The total mean score on the Health Literacy Scale was 52.85 ± 9.81, whereas the total mean score on the Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Information Scale was 18.73 ± 7.52, both at 'moderate' level. A moderately positive correlation was identified between women's Health Literacy Scale score and Gynecologic Cancer Prevention Information Scale score (r = 0.320, p < 0.001). Age, education, and health literacy emerged as predictors of gynaecologic cancer prevention information in women.

conclusionsWomen's health literacy level is an important factor affecting their gynaecological cancer prevention knowledge behaviours. It is recommended that health professionals work to increase women's health literacy.
