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

The aim of this study was to assess the association between the use of and trust in sources of information, knowledge about human papillomavirus (HPV) and vaccines against it, perceived lack of information, and the decision to receive the HPV vaccine in undergraduate students in Belgrade. The sample of this cross-sectional study included students aged 18 to 27 who received the second dose of the HPV vaccine or used other services of the general medicine department at the Institute for Students' Health of Belgrade during the period June-July 2024. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic data, information environment (sources of information, trust in sources of information, as well as questions related to perceived lack of information), knowledge about HPV and HPV vaccines, and vaccination status. Participants filled out an online questionnaire created on the RedCap platform of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, which they accessed via a QR code. Hierarchical logistic regression was used to assess the association between vaccine status and socio-demographic characteristics, use and trust in information sources, knowledge, and perceived lack of information. Of the 603 participants who filled out the questionnaire completely, 78.6% were vaccinated against HPV. Key factors associated with vaccine uptake were female gender (OR = 2.33,
