HPV vaccination coverage rate in women undergoing conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Spain: The COVAR study.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveFemales subjected to cervical excisional therapy (conization) due to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions/cervical intraepithelial neoplasia HSIL/CIN have a higher risk of developing cervical lesions compared to the general population. Research suggests that HPV vaccination may reduce post-treatment HSIL/CIN risk. Since 2014, HPV vaccination is recommended and funded in Spain at regional level for women who had undergone treatment for cervical precancerous lesions (HSIL/CIN2-3 or any other potentially tumoral cytohistological alteration). In 2018, the Ministry of Health standardized the recommendations but the vaccination coverage rate (VCR) for this population has not been published. The COVAR Study aimed to estimate the annual HPV VCR among women undergoing conization for SIL/CIN in Spain and assess sociodemographic and COVID-19 pandemic influence.
methodsThis was a multicentric, cross-sectional retrospective study conducted in six Spanish public hospitals from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021.
resultsAnnual HPV VCR was 87.3% (1135/1300), increasing to 89.8% (983/1095) in women with a conization for high-grade SIL (HSIL)/CIN. Among vaccinated women, 30.2% (343/1135) were vaccinated after SIL/CIN diagnosis but before conization and 58.3% (662/1135) were vaccinated after conization; the remaining 11.5% (130/1135) received at least one dose before SIL/CIN diagnosis. Of the conizations, 32.4% (517/1594) were performed during the pre-pandemic period, decreasing to 19.6% (312/1594) during the first COVID-19 restriction period; the annual HPV VCR also decreased (30% [259/865] to 20.7% [179/865], P < 0.001), for women vaccinated after conization.
conclusionThe annual HPV VCR in our population was 87.3%, reflecting effective vaccination strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic substantially impacted the annual percentage of conizations and HPV vaccination.
