The effects of a protection motivation theory-based online educational program on HPV vaccination intention among female medical students in Hubei province, China: A randomized controlled trial.

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
backgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage among female adolescents remains low in China, including medical students. Protection motivation theory (PMT) has been adopted to promote protective behaviors, but little is known about its effects on HPV vaccination. Thus, we sought to determine the effects of a PMT-based online educational program (POEP) on HPV vaccination intention in female medical students. MATERIALS AND
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted, with 204 participants randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups (n = 102/group). The POEP was delivered over four sessions to the intervention group, whereas the control group received regular health education. An interview questionnaire was used for the data collection. For data analysis, the Chi-square test, independent samples
resultsThe intervention group exhibited significant increases compared with the control group in HPV vaccination intention, mean knowledge and awareness of HPV, and PMT constructs (
conclusionThe POEP effectively improved HPV vaccination intention and knowledge and awareness of HPV and PMT constructs. Thus, it could be a promising way to increase HPV vaccination intention and coverage among female medical students.
