Health literacy on Mpox among Brazilian men who have sex with men: Findings from a national cross-sectional study.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 2025. 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
Background: In 2022, Mpox presented significant challenges globally, particularly in Brazil, where cases surged among men who have sex with men (MSM). Health literacy (HL) is essential for promoting health within this group. Objective: To analyze the HL of MSM in the context of Mpox transmission in Brazil. Methods: This was a national cross-sectional study conducted in a virtual setting. An electronic survey was carried out from September to December 2022. A translated and adapted version of the Health Literacy Scale (HLS-14) and a questionnaire containing sociodemographic information, sexual behaviors, and knowledge and beliefs about Mpox were administered. The distribution of predictor variables across health literacy (HL) levels was explored descriptively. Associations between predictors and HL were analyzed using Pearson's Chi-square test ( Results: The final sample included 1,449 MSM, with an overall prevalence of 53.83% ( Conclusion: HL levels among MSM during the Mpox public health emergency in Brazil were low, shaped by individual, economic, and social factors. The findings can guide nursing practice regarding how MSM deal with information and make decisions in contexts of episodic health events, as well as the HL strategies to be implemented in nursing therapy.
