Alternative Allied Health Care Providers: Athletic Trainers Educating Stakeholders to Improve HPV-Related Infections.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
contextHuman Papillomavirus (HPV) has one of the lowest vaccination rates. Sports medicine providers are well suited to educate stakeholders about HPV-related infections, but athletic trainers (ATs) historically haven't been actively involved in the prevention of this disease. This study aimed to examine ATs' knowledge of HPV and their perceived role and responsibility in educating stakeholders about HPV.
methodsA virtual cross-sectional survey was sent to participants through the National Athletic Trainers' Association data collection service. The survey consisted of a consent form, demographics, knowledge, and perception-based questions. An optional open-ended section was included.
resultsDespite a lower response rate, 460 ATs participated in the study. Only 46% of all ATs scored above 70% on the knowledge-based questions. Those with previous HPV-related training displayed significantly more knowledge (average score of 77.5%) versus those without (64%). Those with training also felt that ATs are responsible for assisting with athletes' general medical conditions (
conclusionsATs are well-positioned to educate stakeholders about HPV. Although knowledge levels are low, ATs perceived a responsibility to educate stakeholders directly contributing to preventing HPV from spreading.
