Educational intervention for women in Japan coming of age for cervical cancer screening who grew up during the suspended HPV-vaccination-program.

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
Girls born in 2001 became eligible for subsidized HPV vaccination when they reached 12 years old in 2013, but that was the year when the Japanese MHLW suspended its official governmental recommendation for HPV vaccination. Those girls will now reach 20 years of age this year, 2021, and they will become eligible for cervical cancer screening. We report on the effects of an educational intervention with an information sheet about their current unvaccinated defenselessness for HPV and the necessity for early and repeated cervical cancer screening as a way to improve their intention to have that screening and their attitude toward HPV vaccination. Among the educated women, 75.2% had a positive intention toward having cervical cancer screening, 24.8% had a negative intention. Educational intervention can significantly promote the intention of having cervical cancer screening in women who had experienced the suspension of the MHLW's official recommendation for HPV vaccination. As a result of this simple intervention, they were more likely to think that HPV vaccination was needed for themselves.
