Trial report in BMC women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most important sexually transmitted infections. In most cases, HPV infection resolves on its own, but some types of HPV infection cause genital warts, and some can cause various types of cancer, such as cervical and anal cancer. The psychological impact of HPV infection on individuals is significant. Hence, this study aimed to assess the impact of motivational interviewing on the anxiety, stress, and depression levels of women with HPV.
methodsThis randomized controlled study utilized a pretest-posttest research design with a control group and involved 62 HPV patients from healthcare centers affiliated with Babol University of Medical Sciences, Iran. In 2023.06.11 after we received ethics code. The patients were divided into two groups: an experimental group consisting of 31 individuals and a control group also comprising 31 individuals. The allocation to these groups was determined using the blocked randomized allocation technique based on pretest scores of MS. The experimental group received motivational intervention over five sessions, while the control group received routine intervention. All participants completed the DASS-21 questionnaire before and immediately after the interventions. The significance level was set at 0.05.
resultsThe mean age in the intervention group was 33.58 ± 6.14 and in the control group was 34.96 ± 7.04 years. The effect of the intervention group was significant in decreasing the total score with Effect-size = 0.954 (P < 0.001). Thus, a significant decrease was observed in depression with an effect size of 0.932, anxiety with an effect size of 0.943, and stress with an effect size of 0.185, respectively with P < 0.001, P = 0.009, and P = 0.001. Anxiety, depression, and stress scores in the intervention group decreased by more than 50% on average compared to the control group.
conclusionThe results of the current research indicated that motivational interviewing may effectively enhance mental health in patients with HPV by reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. Additionally, it can offer useful recommendations to healthcare professionals for successful follow-up and improvement of the mental well-being of these patients.
