Factors associated with the intention to vaccinate and price sensitivity to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine among Chinese male medical college students: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: College students, particularly males, face a high risk of the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, yet vaccination rates remain low in China. This study aims to explore the willingness to receive HPV vaccine among Chinese male medical college students based on health literacy (HL) theory and price sensitivity. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June 16 to July 16, 2024, to assess socioeconomic status and HL among college students at Guangdong Medical University. The survey was distributed via WeChat using convenience sampling through the Chinese online survey platform "Wenjuanxing" (http://www.wjx.cn). A Van Westendorp price sensitivity meter (PSM) was used to determine male medical college students' price sensitivity to HPV vaccines. Results: Among 1,631 valid participants, 59.4% ( Conclusions: HL levels directly increased HPV vaccination intentions, and PSM analysis revealed the nine-valent vaccine's market price exceeded the acceptable price range, contrasting with the affordability-aligned quadrivalent vaccine. Interventions should prioritize HL programs and cost-reduction strategies (
