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

The purpose of this study was to measure the HPV vaccine behaviors and intentions of college-aged men. 493 participants, who identified as "male" or "trans man", from a large university in the Mid-Atlantic were included in this study. An online survey measured several independent variables as well as variables related to HPV and HPV vaccine knowledge, perceptions, and behaviors. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate each variable after filtering the participants by vaccination status. A binomial logistic regression was used to analyze and predict the effect of each variable on college men's vaccination status. The academic year in which participants completed the survey, home location, and HPV knowledge were significant predictors of HPV vaccination status. Lack of inclusion of males during conversations about the HPV vaccine could be the source of the differences between male and female HPV vaccination behavior and intention.
