The Acceptability of Pharmacy-Based HPV Vaccination in Western Kenya among Pharmacy Clients and Providers.
Article in Vaccines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Vaccine coverage for the human papillomavirus (HPV) remains low globally, and differentiated models of vaccine delivery are needed to expand access. Pharmacy-based models of the HPV vaccination may engage women who could benefit. We assessed the acceptability of such a model among pharmacy clients and providers at 20 private pharmacies in Kisumu County, Kenya. In questionnaires, participants (≥18 years) were asked the extent they agreed (5-point scale) with statements that assessed different acceptability component constructs outlined in the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA). From March to June 2022, 1500 pharmacy clients and 40 providers were enrolled and completed questionnaires. Most clients liked the intervention (TFA: affective attitude; 96%, 1435/1500) and did not think it would be hard to obtain (TFA: burden; 93%, 1399/1500). All providers agreed the intervention could reduce HPV infection (TFA: perceived effectiveness) and felt confident they could deliver it (TFA: self-efficacy). Among the clients who had received or were planning to receive the HPV vaccine in the future, half (50%, 178/358) preferred a pharmacy-based HPV vaccination. In this study, most Kenyan pharmacy clients and providers perceived a pharmacy-delivered HPV vaccination as highly acceptable; however, more research is needed to test the feasibility and effectiveness of this novel vaccine delivery model in Africa.
