HPV vaccination uptake among foreign-born Blacks in the US: insights from the National Health Interview Survey 2013-2017.

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
introductionHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination uptake is lower among foreign-born than US-born individuals, but HPV-related (e.g., cervical) cancer risks are disproportionately higher among immigrant populations. Although timely vaccination can help reduce these risks, less is known about differences in the low HPV vaccination uptake among foreign-born groups, especially Black immigrants. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in HPV vaccination initiation among US- and foreign-born Black men and women.
methodData from the 2013-2017 National Health Interview Survey on Black adults, aged 18-37 years, were analyzed in 2019. HPV vaccination initiation prevalence among US- and foreign-born blacks by region of birth were examined. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between foreign-birth status and HPV vaccination initiation separately among men and women, after adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related factors.
resultsThere were significant differences (p < 0.001) in HPV vaccination initiation among Blacks from the US (22.5%), Africa (14.2%), and Americas/Caribbean Islands (11.4%). Adjusted odds of HPV vaccination initiation were lower among foreign- than US-born Blacks (AOR 0.71, CI 0.52, 0.98) but insignificant after controlling for health-related factors. Being ≤ 17 years versus 18-26 years at age of vaccine eligibility (AOR 3.44, CI 2.90, 4.07) was associated with HPV vaccination, and this relationship remained significant among men and women. Being single was associated with vaccination initiation among men, and some college experience, fair/poor health, obstetric/gynecological visit, and pap test were associated with HPV vaccination. Conclusion Cancer prevention strategies to promote HPV vaccination should consider making age-appropriate, gender-specific, and culturally relevant programs among foreign-born blacks in the US. Health insurance is also a key factor that might help with the lower rates of vaccinated black immigrants.
