Factors contributing to missed opportunities for human papillomavirus vaccination among adolescents, ages 11 to 13, in Iowa.

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
Introduction: Rates of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination remain low and missed opportunities for HPV vaccination are widespread. Researchers have identified factors related to HPV vaccination, but less is known about missed opportunities. Methods: We used medical claims data from a large Midwestern insurance provider to explore relationships between adolescent and provider characteristics and missed opportunities for HPV vaccination. We stratified models by initiation status with adolescents who had received one or more HPV vaccinations in one group (n = 6,123) and adolescents with no record of an HPV vaccination in the other (n = 8,107). Results: There were significant differences in comparisons of all variables between initiators and non-initiators. Notably, non-initiators had lower rates of vaccination for HPV and other adolescent vaccinations, and fewer well-child visits. For all adolescents, birth year, having other recommended vaccines, and number of well-child visits were significantly associated with missed opportunities. Additionally, among initiators, pediatrician as a primary care provider and being in a rural area were significantly associated. Discussion: Overall, adolescents with greater healthcare utilization had more missed opportunities, indicating that, despite increased numbers of visits, providers are not taking advantage of these opportunities to vaccinate. Future research should prioritize developing a deeper understanding of why these missed opportunities are occurring and implementing new and existing strategies to prevent them. Reducing missed opportunities will help to prevent future HPV-related cancers and the significant morbidity and mortality that they can cause.
