Misconceptions and knowledge gaps about HPV, cervical cancer, and HPV vaccination among central American immigrant parents in the United States.

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
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers globally, yet it remains a significant health issue, primarily due to persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Ethnic minority and immigrant populations experience notable gaps in knowledge about HPV, the HPV vaccine, and its link to cervical cancer. This study assessed awareness and understanding of HPV, the HPV vaccine, and its connection to cervical cancer among Central American immigrant parents in the United States. A qualitative, exploratory study used in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Both inductive and deductive thematic analyses were conducted with MAXQDA software to identify key themes related to participants' awareness of HPV, the vaccine, and its link to cervical cancer. Fifty-six parents (33 mothers, 23 fathers; mean age = 42.7 years), nearly all foreign-born (92.8%) from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras (average 17.3 years of U.S. residency), participated in the study. Only 26.8% (
