Effects of educational interventions for community pharmacists on promoting human papillomavirus vaccination: A randomized double-blind parallel group comparison trial.
Article in Vaccine: X, 2025. 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
Objective: Owing to persistent concerns about side effects, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates in Japan have remained low. Pharmacists are therefore encouraged to improve vaccination rates by providing accurate information. This study evaluated the impact of educational interventions on pharmacists' knowledge and willingness to recommend the HPV vaccine. Methods: This randomized double-blind trial assigned community pharmacists to an intervention or control group. The intervention group watched a video about the HPV vaccine and cervical cancer, whereas the control group watched a video about lung cancer. Assessments regarding knowledge and willingness to recommend the vaccine were conducted after obtaining consent (pre-test), immediately post-intervention (post-test 1), and 28 days post-intervention (post-test 2). Results: This study randomly assigned 124 participants. A significant difference in the change in motivation to recommend HPV vaccination at 28 days post-intervention (post-test 2) was observed between the two groups ( Discussion: Educational intervention significantly improved knowledge and willingness to recommend the HPV vaccine. This finding suggests that enhancing knowledge also boosts the willingness to recommend the vaccine, highlighting the potential long-term effects of educational interventions. Furthermore, our results underscore the crucial role pharmacists play in providing accurate information to the community. Conclusion: Utilizing pharmacists to disseminate vaccine information is effective given their familiarity with and accessibility to community residents. Policymakers should therefore leverage pharmacists to promote vaccine recommendations. Trial registration: UMIN Clinical Trials Registry Number: UMIN000050192. Registered Feb 23, 2023.
