Completion of the human papillomavirus vaccination series lags in Somali adolescents.
Article in Journal of lower genital tract disease, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveIt is unknown whether the Somali population in the United States is likely to participate in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. We aimed to determine whether Somali girls living in a US community are following the recommendations for HPV vaccination. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a study of HPV vaccination among Somali girls seen at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Each Somali subject was matched by year of birth to white/non-Hispanic subjects in a 1:3 ratio. We abstracted information between August 1, 2006, and December 31, 2009, related to HPV vaccine series initiation and completion. Initiation and completion frequencies were compared between study groups using the χ(2) test.
resultsA total of 251 Somali and 727 white/non-Hispanic girls were identified, using the Rochester Epidemiology Project, who met all inclusion criteria for final analysis. A total of 114 Somali girls (45%) and 334 white/non-Hispanic girls (46%) initiated the series (odds ratio = 0.98; 95% confidence interval = 0.73-1.31), but only 59 Somali girls (52%) completed the vaccination series, compared with 240 (72%) of the white/non-Hispanic girls (odds ratio = 0.42; 95% confidence interval = 0.27-0.65).
conclusionsWe found Somali girls to be generally accepting of initiating the HPV vaccine series but less likely to complete the series as compared with white non-Hispanic girls of the same age.
