Attitudes Towards the HPV Vaccine Among Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients in a Post-COVID World.

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
Objective: To assess the relationship between COVID and HPV vaccine hesitancy among oropharyngeal cancer patients and the effects of the pandemic on vaccine hesitancy. Methods: A 25-question survey was developed to assess patient demographics, background information, and attitudes towards both the HPV and COVID-19 vaccines. The survey was administered in person to patients with a history of p16+ oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Results were statistically analyzed for significant associations between various factors relating to hesitancy. Results: A high school education or higher was significantly associated with patients who would recommend the COVID-19 vaccine to others and trust their health care provider's recommendations about COVID-19 vaccination. Education was only a significant factor with regard to HPV vaccination when patients were asked about vaccination restricting their autonomy. Several significant associations were found between similar attitudes towards both the COVID-19 vaccine and HPV vaccine, including safety, autonomy, concerns about government intervention, and likelihood of vaccine recommendation. No significant association was found between the pandemic and change in views on vaccination. Conclusion: Although the COVID-19 pandemic did not seem to affect many OPSCC patients' views on vaccination one way or another, we did uncover similar trends in vaccine hesitancy between the newer COVID-19 vaccine and older HPV vaccine. Our results indicate that established safety and history of a vaccine are likely very minor players in vaccine hesitancy, and efforts toward vaccine acceptance should be focused on patient background factors, including education and trust.
