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

Objective: To assess the level of eHealth literacy and its associated factors among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to inform the development of targeted interventions. Methods: From December 2024 to March 2025, a total of 239 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus attending the obstetric outpatient clinic of a maternal and child health hospital in Guangzhou were conveniently sampled. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the eHealth Literacy Scale for Pregnant Women, the Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Questionnaire, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. Results: The mean total eHealth literacy score among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus was 79.05±8.61. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that age, educational level, frequency of health information searching, anxiety, and perceived social support were influencing factors of eHealth literacy. Conclusion: The level of eHealth literacy among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus was moderate to high and was influenced by multiple factors. Tailored recommendations for accessing appropriate online health information platforms, based on patients' individual characteristics and needs, may help improve their eHealth literacy.
