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
objectiveThis study aimed to measure knowledge, acceptance, and willingness to pay (WTP) towards Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for boys among parents in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia.
methodsThe cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted from September to November 2023 through electronic self-reported questionnaires survey. The parents of boys aged 11 to 15 years of age and had never had an HPV vaccination for their son before were recruited as survey respondents. The study respondents were recruited through school-based approach involving 12 elementary schools and 15 junior high schools that distributed in 3 districts of Yogyakarta Province. The survey examined demographic details, knowledge about HPV and its vaccine, understanding of HPV-related issues, willingness to receive the HPV vaccination, and readiness to pay for the vaccine.
resultA total of 410 parents that coincidentally all were women participated in this study. The average knowledge score was 6.58 (43.9%), indicating that overall knowledge about HPV was moderate among the respondents. In contrast, a total of 346 parents (84.4%) expressed their willingness to vaccinate their son. The bivalent vaccine had mean of an out-of-pocket WTP of IDR 172,279 (USD 11.11) and the quadrivalent vaccine of IDR 223,144 (USD 14.39), with a median WTP of IDR 100,000 (USD 6.4) for both vaccines. These WTP values were about 20% of the market price. There was significant difference of WTP mean between group of respondents' characteristics for variables such as marital status, education, and income. There was also significant relationship between knowledge, acceptance, and WTP toward HPV vaccine.
conclusionDespite the high acceptance towards HPV vaccination, knowledge and WTP were still considered low. Such strategies are required to increase awareness regarding impact of HPV toward men's and women's health. In addition, at current situation voluntary HPV vaccination for boys was not favourable program.
