Knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards Human Papilloma Virus and uptake of HPV vaccine: A protocol for a systematic review.
Article in PloS one, 2024. 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
backgroundDespite a high burden of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-associated diseases, HPV vaccine uptake is disparate globally. The objective of this systematic review is to summarize the existing evidence on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding HPV and the uptake of the HPV vaccine. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a systematic review of observational studies that report data on HPV KAP and vaccine uptake among people aged 16 and above. We will search MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Emcare, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Global Health, and PsycInfo. We will conduct screening, data extraction, and assessment of the methodological quality of the included studies in duplicate. A random-effects model will be used to pool data. Subgroup analysis will be done for age younger adults (≤ 26 years old) and older adults (> 26 years old), sex (men and women), income level (as per World Bank), and WHO region. This systematic review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The PROSPERO registration number for the review is CRD42024532230. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not necessary as this study will review secondary published data. Our findings will be disseminated as part of a doctoral thesis and through peer-reviewed journal publications and conferences.
