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

objectiveTo identify the factors that inhibit human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination to improve the high HPV infection rate and cervical cancer incidence among SLE patients.

methodsWe conducted a questionnaire survey of female SLE patients aged 18-45 years attending our hospital to analyze factors related to HPV vaccination.

resultsWe obtained responses of 88 participants. Only 5 (5.7%) were received HPV vaccination, 15 (17.0%) were uncertain of their vaccine history, and 27 (30.7%) had never even heard of HPV vaccination. The reasons for unvaccinated against HPV were "don't know" with 24 participants, "missed opportunity" with 15, and "troublesome, somehow" with 8. The most trusted source of medical information for the unvaccinated was their physician (69, 60.2%). Among the unvaccinated, those who wished to be vaccinated in the future were positively correlated with "trust of vaccine benefit" (r = 0.561, p = 0.005) and "general knowledge about HPV vaccine" (r = 0.512, p = 0.013), and negatively correlated with "negative attitudes toward vaccination and vaccine policy" (r = -0.547, p = 0.007).

conclusionHPV vaccination rate among SLE patients in Japan was extremely low. The main reason was lack of knowledge. The most effective solution is considered to provide accurate information and adequate recommendations of HPV vaccination by attending physicians.
