Barriers to and Facilitators of Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Among People Aged 9 to 26 Years: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Sexually transmitted diseases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 67 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundCervical and oropharyngeal cancers are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which can be prevented with the vaccines. However, uptake of the HPV vaccine remains low in many countries. There is a need to better understand the barriers to and facilitators of HPV vaccination from young people's perspectives.
methodsFive electronic databases were searched for original publications (dated January, 2006-December, 2019) reporting barriers to and facilitators of HPV vaccination among young people. All articles were screened against prespecified eligibility criteria, and data were extracted against prespecified form.
resultsA total of 13 studies that were published in international peer-reviewed journals and met the stated eligibility criteria were identified. The barriers reported were centralized around lack of knowledge about HPV and the HPV vaccine, fear about the safety and efficacy of the HPV vaccine, fear about not being able to pay for the HPV vaccine, and discrimination regarding to the HPV vaccine. The facilitators reported were centralized around trust in the efficacy and safety of the HPV vaccine, discounted price of vaccination, positive recommendations from others, perceived risk of HPV infection, and benefits of vaccine.
conclusionsAfter their introduction 14 years ago, knowledge deficiency of the HPV vaccine is still a critical barrier to vaccination. Educational initiatives aimed at adolescents and young adults were urgently needed. Understanding factors that arbitrate in early HPV vaccination is critical for improving the HPV vaccination rate.
