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

Virginia has some of the lowest HPV vaccination rates, despite being one of the few states in the USA requiring adolescent girls receive the vaccine. Provider characteristics may be an important factor in HPV vaccination. Thus, the present study assessed provider vaccination, practices, knowledge about the vaccine, and confidence in performing behaviors related to the vaccine. We conducted a cross-sectional electronic survey in a large health care system in Northern Virginia. A total of 53 responses were received. Only respondents who reported seeing adolescent patients were included in analyses (N = 42). Differences in responses were examined by provider age, gender, and type. Respondents reported recommending the vaccine a high percent of the time to eligible patients and had overall high levels of knowledge and confidence. Male providers recommended the vaccine to boys ages 11-12, less frequently than female providers. Providers age 50 and over recommended the vaccine to boys ages 11-12 less frequently than younger providers. This study shows that there are some gaps in HPV vaccine recommendation practices among providers. These gaps may be one reason for the low uptake of the HPV vaccine among adolescents. Thus, educational and training interventions of providers could be considered.
