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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAdequate knowledge and correct attitudes about the HPV vaccine influence awareness of the importance of preventing HPV-related diseases, which is particularly important for future healthcare professionals. We aim to examine the share of correct answers and the prevalence of different attitudes about the HPV vaccine among active regular students of the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 November 2023 using a structured survey questionnaire.

resultsA total of 1760 students were included, of which 78% were female, with an average age of 21 years. Students who participated in prior HPV education) demonstrated significantly higher knowledge (81.92% vs. 65.60%,

conclusionsStudents who previously attended education on HPV infection/vaccination and those who would recommend the vaccine have significantly higher levels of knowledge. The study highlights the importance of HPV-related education in shaping future healthcare professionals' attitudes and knowledge.
