Human papillomavirus vaccination status among university students in Southern Thailand: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) commonly causes transmissible diseases worldwide; however, HPV vaccines are not available among some at-risk populations. Since 2017, HPV vaccination has been recommended for females aged 11-12 years in Thailand. However, studies on the coverage and HPV vaccination prevalence are limited. This study aimed to explore the prevalence and factors associated with HPV vaccination among Thai university students. Methods: Data for this cross-sectional study were randomly collected using paper-based questionnaires from university students aged 18-26 years during October 17-27, 2023. Results: Of 1,093 participants, 57.6 % were female, and 53.5 % were from non-urban areas. The median age was 20 years. One-third of the participants were from low-income families. The overall HPV vaccine coverage rates were 7.51 % and 0.87 % in female and male students, respectively. Female sex, being from a high-income family, studying in health science faculties, originating from an urban area, having one or both parents completing university educations, and having healthcare providers as family members increased the odds of receiving the HPV vaccine. The accuracy of HPV vaccine literacy among participants who reported that they "know about the HPV vaccine" was adequate, except for the fact that HPV vaccine was sex-neutral. Conclusions: The HPV vaccine coverage rate among Thai university students was low owing to several factors. HPV and HPV vaccine education should be provided to populations that can still benefit from receiving the HPV vaccine.
