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
backgroundVaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) has been part of the Danish Childhood Vaccination Programme (CVP) since 2009 and initially had a high uptake. Following an intense public debate on the alleged side-effects to the vaccine in 2015, coverage rates declined dramatically leaving the current coverage at 54%.The main aim of this study was to identify differences in the sources of information and factors of importance in mothers' decision to have or not to have their adolescent daughters vaccinated against HPV.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was based on survey and register data from 3,558 mothers of daughters born in 2003 living in the Central Denmark Region. The survey examined, among others, sources of information and factors of value in the decision-making process. Socioeconomic register data were retrieved from Statistics Denmark.Pearson's chi-squared test was used to determine differences in socioeconomic distribution between both respondents and non-respondents, and mothers who had their daughters vaccinated versus those who did not. Associations between vaccination status and various events were estimated using logistic regression.
resultsA strong association was found between vaccine uptake and general practitioner (GP) recommendation (odds ratio (OR) 0.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.10; 0.30), seeking GP guidance (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.50; 0.78) and agreeing with the daughter's father to vaccinate (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.37; 0.96). Inversely, vaccination decline was associated with a negative first impression of HPV vaccination (OR 4.05, 95% CI 3.28; 5.00), valuing media stories (OR 3.57, 95% CI 2.63; 4.85) and distrusting the first source of information (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.92; 3.23).
conclusionsThe results indicate that the impression left behind by information sources is more important in determining vaccination status than the information sources themselves, indicating that mothers are liable to make healthcare decisions based on sensibility rather than sense.
