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

Background: Australia has a large immigrant population but there is little data regarding whether human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage in adolescents varies according to parents' cultural or ethnic background. This work aims to identify facilitators and barriers to HPV vaccination of adolescents as perceived by Arabic-speaking mothers in Western Sydney, South Western Sydney and Wollongong, NSW, Australia. Methods: A purposive sampling approach was applied to recruit mothers of adolescents from Arabic speaking backgrounds who had at least one child eligible for the HPV school-based vaccination program. Face-to-face semi-structured well as online interviews were conducted in Arabic between April 2021 and July 2021. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and translated into English and examined using thematic analysis. Results: Sixteen mothers of adolescents from Arabic backgrounds described facilitators and barriers to HPV vaccination. A) Facilitators of HPV vaccination included: knowledge of HPV disease, trust in the school vaccination program, opportunistic recommendations from healthcare workers, information from friends. B) Barriers to accessing HPV vaccination included communication gaps: breakdown in school-parent information flow, lack of access to the Arabic language version of the information sheet, mother - GP communication barriers, mother-child communication gap; and health system gaps: missed opportunities for vaccination. C) Mothers' suggestions to improve HPV vaccination acceptance: to involve religious and cultural leadership, encourage engagement with GPs, and provide school-based education for parents and students. Conclusion: Parents could benefit from assistance with HPV vaccination decision making. Interventions via schools, health professionals and religious and cultural organisations could play important roles in HPV vaccination acceptance for Arabic speaking immigrant families and in introducing their adolescent children to this vaccine.
