Behaviors and willingness to support HPV vaccination for women: a cross-sectional study of young adult men in China.

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
backgroundMen's involvement in and support for women's decision-making concerning human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination is crucial. However, the support provided by men to promote HPV vaccination among women, as a crucial part of intimate relationships has received limited attention. This study examined the behaviors and willingness of young Chinese adult men to support HPV vaccination in women and explored potential factors influencing supportive behaviors and willingness.
methodsFrom December 2020 to January 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 1014 young men from eight universities in Zhejiang Province, China. The survey questionnaire assessed behaviors and willingness to support HPV vaccination, HPV-related knowledge, information seeking for male HPV vaccination, attitudes toward women's vaccination benefits, and sociodemographic variables. Multivariable logistic regression analyses adjusting for all covariates were used to identify factors associated with supportive behaviors and willingness.
resultsOnly 48.4% of respondents reported having acquired and shared information about HPV vaccination with loved ones, whereas 41.3% recommended HPV vaccination. Approximately 80% of the participants without supportive behaviors reported a willingness to support the vaccination. Positive attitudes toward the benefits of women's HPV vaccination, active seeking of information on male HPV vaccination, and relevant sociodemographic and health-related variables were associated with vaccination-supportive behaviors or willingness.
conclusionsYoung men expressed a relatively low level of support for female HPV vaccination. Promoting active information seeking regarding HPV vaccination among men and emphasizing the benefits of HPV vaccination for women could potentially foster more supportive behaviors. Targeted health education should include men to promote their involvement in shared decision-making regarding female HPV vaccinations.
