Human Papillomavirus-Related Oral Cancer: Knowledge and Awareness Among Spanish Dental Students.
Article in Journal of cancer education : the official journal of the American Association for Cancer Education, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are responsible for a significant part of the global burden of cancer. Epidemiologic studies have shown increasing trends of HPV-related oral cancers worldwide. Dental professionals need comprehensive up-to-date HPV-related information to be able to provide correct advice to their patients. The aim of this paper is to describe knowledge and awareness levels of dental students from Spain on HPV infection, HPV vaccination, oral cancer prevention, and HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. A survey was distributed to 240 dental students, of which 158 returned it. Most students reported not been vaccinated against HPV (n = 81, 51.3%) and believed that HPV infection was linked to oropharyngeal cancer (75%). Overall, advanced students showed better knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding this issue while novice students showed relevant shortcomings. However, their attitudes in relation to the diagnosis of oral cancer were adequate. These results suggest that there are important HPV-related knowledge deficits among Spanish dental students, which hinders their interventions in oropharyngeal primary prevention efforts. Findings of this study suggest the inclusion and standardization of HPV-related educational information to the dental curriculum.
