Parent perceptions of dental care providers' role in human papillomavirus prevention and vaccine advocacy.
Article in Journal of the American Dental Association (1939), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
backgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and is responsible for most anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers. Dental care providers can be advocates for vaccine uptake, yet little is known about patients' perceptions of the role of dental care providers in HPV education and prevention.
methodsParents of adolescents aged 9 through 17 years were recruited from the Minnesota State Fair to survey their awareness and knowledge of the HPV vaccine. Parents were also surveyed about their attitudes toward and comfort in receiving HPV vaccination recommendations and counseling from oral health care providers.
resultsThe authors interviewed 208 parents, most of whom felt that dentists were qualified to counsel about HPV (66.4%) and its vaccination (72.6%). A lower proportion felt similarly regarding dental hygienists. Parent age and sex were not correlated with comfort levels, but education levels (P = .021) and child vaccination statuses (P > .001) were.
conclusionsParents are comfortable having discussions about HPV and the vaccine in the dental setting, especially with dentists. This may represent an additional setting where strong recommendations increase vaccine uptake. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Our findings emphasize an opportunity for the dental care team to improve the patient perspective on the role of dental care providers in HPV prevention. Continuing dental education can increase providers' knowledge, comfort, and confidence in discussing HPV with parents. Parents perceiving provider comfort and confidence might be more comfortable with HPV conversations. Training in collaborative, patient-focused communication techniques, such as motivational interviewing, can improve both providers' and patients' comfort and confidence in HPV counseling from oral health care providers.
