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

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, claiming over 443,000 lives annually, with 98% of these deaths occurring in developing countries. Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is a preventive strategy. This review investigates the role of age at vaccination and the number of doses in determining vaccine effectiveness. Articles from 2013 to 2023 were retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, SID, and Google Scholar using keywords related to HPV, vaccine, age, and dose. The findings suggest that the highest vaccine effectiveness is observed in younger age groups (ages 9-14: 74-93%) and decreases with age. Studies indicate that while three doses provide optimal protection, a single dose may also confer significant benefits in younger populations. These findings underscore the importance of timely vaccination and adherence to dosing schedules for maximizing vaccine impact.
