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

backgroundSwitzerland, with an adolescent HPV vaccination coverage at 59%, remains far from reaching the crucial swiss national goal of 80% coverage. Our objective was to implement a new information brochure in schools to increase HPV vaccination uptake.

methodsWe designed a public health quality project. A new information brochure was produced and was distributed to a test group of 9th grade students from the Canton of Vaud, in Switzerland during the 2019-2020 school year. Vaccine uptake of the test group was compared to those of all other students in 2019-2020 and of students in the same schools in 2017-2018.

results12,143 electronic records were analyzed. 713 students were enrolled in 6 schools where the new brochure was distributed. Median age was 13 years (IQR 12-13), and 6,031 (49.7%) were female. Vaccine uptake was 52% (6,299/12,143). The new brochure did not result in increased uptake. Age ≥ 13 years (aOR 1.39, 95% CI 1.22-1.58) was significantly associated with uptake. Uptake increased between 2017-2018 (51%, 3,216/6,307) and 2019-2020 (52.8%, 3,083/5,836, p=0.04) due to increased acceptance among boys. The only determinant of uptake in 2019-2020 was uptake in the same schools in 2017-2018.

conclusionThe introduction of a new information brochure was insufficient to increase HPV vaccination coverage. More innovative strategies are needed.
