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

aimsThis study examined the association of health literacy with quality-of-life outcomes among Jordanian adults with chronic diseases using two patient-reported outcome measures, the Long-Term Conditions Questionnaire (LTCQ) and the EuroQol five-dimension, three-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L). It also compared conventional regression and machine-learning (ML) approaches for modelling these relationships. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this cross-sectional online study, Arabic-language questionnaires were completed by Jordanian adults aged 18 years or older with at least one chronic physical, mental, or neurological condition. The survey, designed to take 10-12 minutes, included the LTCQ, EQ-5D-3L, Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5), and 12-item Health Literacy Scale (HLS-Q12). A total of 901 complete responses were analyzed. Data were split into training (

resultsHealth literacy and medication adherence were positively associated with both LTCQ (beta = 3.923 and 2.219, respectively; both

conclusionLTCQ and EQ-5D-3L showed overlapping but distinct association patterns. LTCQ was more strongly linked with psychosocial and self-management variables, whereas EQ-5D-3L was more closely aligned with medication burden and clinical comorbidity. These findings should be interpreted as associative rather than causal and as differences in captured dimensions rather than evidence of instrument superiority.
