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

backgroundHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) is implicated in the pathogenesis of cancer in the cervix, vagina, throat and anogenital region. Although HPV vaccination rates in the Hispanic community have increased owing to public health efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unique public health challenges and contributed to health inequity in this population.

methodsTo evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HPV vaccine uptake in a program designed to improve HPV vaccination rate in a predominantly Hispanic community in the border region of Texas (Tiempo de Vacunarte [time to get vaccinated]), we performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis to evaluate the uptake of the first dose of HPV vaccine series among eligible adolescents and adults before (2016-2019), during (2020-2021), and after the COVID-19 pandemic (2022-2023).

resultsWe observed a decrease in HPV vaccine uptake during the pandemic (69.59% vs. 89.92%) and post-pandemic (76% vs. 89.92%) compared to the pre-pandemic period. After adjusting for confounding factors, the reduction in the odds ratio was more pronounced in the pandemic (OR = 0.091, p < 0.001) and post-pandemic (OR = 0.109, p < 0.001) periods.

conclusionOur findings suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the uptake of the HPV vaccine in a comprehensive intervention program to increase HPV vaccination in a border community.
