Human papillomavirus vaccination in rural Malawi: Identifying factors associated with vaccine uptake using a community-based household survey.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is suboptimal globally. Effective interventions are needed to meet the global goal of vaccinating 90% of girls against HPV, and this requires a robust understanding of barriers to vaccine uptake. Using a household survey in three communities of Malawi with parents/guardians of girls aged 9-13 years, we collected and analyzed data about intervention-amenable factors hypothesized to be associated with girls' HPV vaccination status. The 299 parent/guardian respondents provided information on 382 girls aged 9-13 years, of whom 39.0% (
