Human papillomavirus vaccine uptake and associated factors among adolescent girls in high schools of Nekemte city, Western Ethiopia, 2020.
Article in BMC women's health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in adult women in the developing world including Ethiopia. To combat cervical cancer, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that girls aged 9-14 years have to take the human papillomavirus vaccine. However, there is a lack of information regarding the uptake of human papillomavirus vaccine in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine uptake and associated factors among adolescent girls in high schools of Nekemte City, Western Ethiopia, 2020.
methodsA cross-sectional study design was employed among adolescent girls attending grade 9 and age 15 enrolled at schools in Nekemte City from July 15-30, 2020. Six hundred twenty-six (626) randomly selected adolescent girls were interviewed. The data were entered into Epi Info 7 and analyzed by SPSS 25. Multivariable analysis was computed and a P-value < 0.05 was taken as a cut-off point to declare the statistically significant association.
resultThe uptake of the HPV vaccine was 61.2%, 95%CI (57.2%, 65%). The Place where adolescents grow up (AOR = 3.46, 95%CI [1.95,6.15]), having a mobile phone(AOR = 1.71, 95%CI [1.05, 2.79]), ever heard about HPV (AOR = 5.69, 95%CI [1.33, 24.27]), ever heard about HPV vaccine(AOR = 1.917, 95%CI [1.002, 3.667]), Ever had sexual intercourse (AOR = 3.04, 95% [1.49,6.20]) and Perceived risk of towards HPV(AOR = 4.63 [2.49, 8.63]) has shown statistically significant association with Uptake of the HPV vaccine.
conclusionNearly two-thirds of the study participants had taken at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. It is better if health information on HPV is disseminated considering the available technology like mobile phones and reaching rural girls.
