1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective at preventing HPV-associated cancers in both males and females, yet vaccination rates remain sub-optimal in part due to vaccine hesitancy. This study sought to assess which strategies vaccine-hesitant parents perceive as most likely to motivate them to vaccinate their children against HPV. Methods: In 2021, we recruited parents with children ages 10-17 years old who were not vaccinated against HPV and who felt unsure or hesitant about their decision to vaccinate their child. Participants were recruited through an online patient portal within a single institution. A screening survey assessed for vaccine hesitancy. Semi-structured interviews focused on HPV vaccine decision-making, motivators, and potential strategies to improve vaccination rates in hesitant parents. Audio recordings were transcribed and analyzed via a combination of deductive and inductive codes. Results and Discussion: A total of twenty-two vaccine-hesitant parents were interviewed. The major themes identified were a lack of confidence in vaccine decision-making, a desire for more information, and dissatisfaction with provider encounters. Parents reported that their hesitancy was driven by concerns about safety and necessity, often based on negative anecdotal reports. Although pediatricians were the most often cited source of vaccine information, many parents were dissatisfied with the encounters they had regarding the vaccine. Parents expressed a desire for detailed information on both the benefits
