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: Cervical cancer poses a serious threat to women's health globally, especially in China. HPV vaccination and screening are crucial prevention and control measures. However, the screening coverage among Chinese women remains low, and there is a need to better understand the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and information needs of Chinese HPV-vaccinated women regarding cervical cancer prevention to optimize prevention and control strategies. Objectives: To explore the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and information needs of women vaccinated with the HPV vaccine regarding cervical cancer prevention. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sampling method from October 1 to December 30, 2023. A questionnaire survey was administered to 439 women vaccinated with the HPV vaccine at the Shu Shan District Community Health Service Center in Hefei, Anhui Province. The survey tool was self-designed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression. Results: The average age of the 439 participants was 27.82 ± 6.42 years. The average cervical cancer prevention knowledge score was 35.01 ± 5.76. 434 (98.9%) women held a positive attitude towards cervical cancer screening, and 320 (72.9%) women had undergone cervical cancer screening after receiving the HPV vaccine. Educational levels such as college (OR = 2.995, 95%CI: 1.233-7.279, Conclusion: Chinese HPV-vaccinated women have a good understanding of cervical cancer prevention and a positive attitude and behavior towards cervical cancer screening. However, their knowledge of cervical cancer screening is not sufficient, and their information needs have not been fully met.
