HPV Vaccine Uptake Among Canadian Youth and The Role of the Nurse Practitioner.
Review in Journal of community health, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
The human papillomavirus (HPV) infects approximately 550,000 Canadians annually. Cancers of the cervix, mouth, anus, throat and neck are caused by various strains of the virus. The virus also causes genital warts. The disease and economic burden of HPV is high. Primary prevention through vaccine administration prior to onset of sexual activity is evidenced as best practice. Two vaccines are available, Gardasil and Cervarix. Consistent with global practices in developed countries, these vaccines are currently publicly funded for females and provided in school-based clinics in all provinces and territories in Canada. Despite well-documented efficacy with minimal adverse effects, the uptake of these vaccines remains low in all countries, including Canada. Although HPV immunization rates have increased, they remain significantly below the rates of other vaccine-preventable diseases. This is puzzling since school-based clinics and public funding presumably increase vaccine access. Barriers explicated include family lack of knowledge about the vaccine, and attitudes that are not informed by science and epidemiology. There is evidence that a health provider's recommendation is the single biggest influence on uptake. However, not all providers are cognizant about emerging issues in this area, including controversies about universal coverage for boys as well as girls, new vaccines and more. Nurse practitioners are in a position to collaborate with public health agencies to expand knowledge and coverage across Canada.
