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 ninth most common cancer among women in Saudi Arabia, with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection being the primary risk factor. One of the major strategies for prevention is vaccination, and parental consent is crucial for HPV vaccination, particularly for girls aged 9 to 14. However, studies on parental acceptance and the barriers to HPV vaccination for minors in Asir, Saudi Arabia, are limited, indicating the need for further research. This cross-sectional study utilized an online questionnaire platform from March 2023 to November 2023 in Asir, Saudi Arabia, collecting data from 539 parents of daughters under 18. Various demographic variables were assessed to determine their impacts on vaccine acceptance. The study aimed to evaluate parental acceptance, knowledge, and barriers related to HPV vaccination in the region. The findings revealed an acceptance rate of 65.9% for the HPV vaccine among parents. Significant factors influencing acceptance included age, with 45-54 age group exhibiting the lowest acceptance rate of 54.4% (
