Association between the e-healthy literacy and cancer prevention consciousness in rural China: cancer cognition acting as a mediator.

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
backgroundCancer prevention is a critical public health challenge in China, especially among rural residents. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of cancer cognition in the relationship between e-health literacy and cancer prevention consciousness.
methodsA multi-stage stratified random sampling method was used to recruit 486 rural residents from Shandong Province for a questionnaire survey. Data from 453 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate and multiple linear regression. Path analysis was used to examine the mediating role of cancer cognition in the relationship between e-health literacy and cancer prevention consciousness.
resultsThe mean score of cancer prevention consciousness among rural residents in this study was 7.46 out of a maximum of 10. Regression analysis showed that e-health literacy (β = 0.146, P < 0.001) and cancer cognition (β = 0.150, P < 0.001) influenced cancer prevention consciousness. Gender and the perceived necessity of cancer-related knowledge were also influencing factors (P < 0.001). The direct effect value of e-health literacy on cancer prevention consciousness was 0.155, which accounted for 84.87% of the total effect. The indirect effect value through cancer cognition level is 0.028, accounting for 15.13% of the total effect.
conclusionsWe found an above-average level of cancer prevention consciousness among the rural residents. E-health literacy can enhance the consciousness among individuals by increasing their cancer cognition. Policymakers should leverage e-health technologies to strengthen residents' capacity to understand cancer-related information, with culturally tailored interventions further supporting effective prevention and global health efforts.
