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
Objective: This study aims to assess the current level of electronic health literacy (eHL) among individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to identify associated factors that may inform the development of targeted interventions to support patient-centered health management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 258 individuals with CRC, recruited using a convenience sampling method from a Class A tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province, China. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and the European Quality of Life Five-Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D). Univariate analyses and multiple linear regression were conducted to explore factors associated with eHL. Results: The mean eHEALS score was 19.71 ± 8.97, indicating a generally low level of eHL among participants. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated significant positive correlations between eHL and scores on the GSES, MSPSS, and EQ-5D ( Conclusion: eHL remains suboptimal among individuals with CRC in China. Interventions should focus on populations at elevated risk of low eHL, with an emphasis on enhancing self-efficacy and improving health-related quality of life to facilitate more effective engagement with electronic health resources and improve clinical outcomes.
