Evaluation of parent reminder-recall letters to promote human papillomavirus vaccination.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. 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) vaccine uptake remains suboptimal. Our stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial found that reminder-recall letters sent to parents of age-eligible children significantly increased vaccine uptake compared to usual care. Subsequently, we conducted a process evaluation to assess the mechanisms of the letter's effectiveness. This study evaluated who remembered the letter, use of provided resources, and child vaccination status. Methods: This cross-sectional evaluation included data from parents ( Results: A total of 1165 of 1991 questionnaires were completed (59 %). Over half (58 %) remembered the reminder-recall letter. Compared to those not remembering the letter, those who did were significantly more likely to have had their child vaccinated (56 % versus 44 %, Conclusions: Reminder-recall letters cued the majority of parents to complete HPV vaccination; however, vaccine misperceptions remain a challenge, indicating the need for additional communication strategies.
