HPV Vaccination Communication Messages, Messengers, and Messaging Strategies.

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) causes over 39,000 cancers annually in the US. The HPV vaccine is safe and effective but underutilized to prevent cancer. In the US, only 37% of adolescents ages 13-17 have received the full vaccine series. Ineffective messages and misinformation about the vaccine have negatively impacted its uptake in the US. It was initially only approved for girls and early marketing focused on cervical cancer prevention and prevention of HPV as a sexually transmitted infection. Understanding effective messages and methods of dissemination is critical to address suboptimal vaccine uptake. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 34 participants to identify best practices for HPV vaccination messaging in SC. Participants included state leaders representing public health, medical associations, K-12 public schools, universities, insurers, and cancer advocacy organizations. Recommended HPV vaccine messages included focusing on cancer prevention rather than sexual transmission, routinizing the vaccine, and highlighting risks/costs of HPV. Targeting messages to specific demographics and utilizing multiple media platforms to disseminate consistent, scientifically accurate messages were recommended. Strategies such as appealing to parents' moral responsibility to protect their children against cancer and addressing the ubiquity of HPV and sharing growing evidence that HPV may be transmitted independent of sexual activity were also recommended. Suggested HPV vaccine messengers included trusted peers, medical professionals, and health associations. Culture-centered narratives to raise the voices of cancer survivors and parents were also recommended. This study provides an array of HPV vaccination messages and dissemination strategies for optimizing HPV vaccination rates.
