Quality evaluation of HPV vaccine-related online messages in China: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Since 2019, three types of HPV vaccine have been approved for use in mainland China. High quality messages are crucial for vaccine acceptance, but little is known about the online information quality concerning HPV vaccine in China. "HPV vaccine" and "cervical cancer vaccine" in the form of Chinese were used as keywords through search engines from personal computer (PC), portable mobile device (PMD), and WeChat Public Accounts in 2019. Readability, information content, as well as DISCERN scores were evaluated for each message included. Characteristics associated with quality indicators of the messages were also analyzed. A total of 294 messages from PC engines (104, 35%), PMD engines (128, 43%) and WeChat (62, 21%) were assessed. Most (269, 91%) messages required at least undergraduate readability level. The most frequently reported theme was HPV vaccine and its function (273, 93%), while the least was information regarding quality, safety and side effects (129, 44%). The frequency of messages with at least one error was 132 (45%). The median of sum DISCERN scores was 42 (IQR = 14), and only one (< 1%) message showed good DISCERN quality. Messages retrieved from PC engines and those with pictures were of better overall quality. The overall quality of HPV vaccine-related online messages in Chinese websites was not optimal. Government and health professionals should promote information quality construction to improve the status of HPV vaccination messages online.
