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

Introduction: This study examines the intention of young adults to receive the Human Papillomavirus vaccination in China, with a specific focus on the mediating role of attitude within an integrated framework of the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior. Methods: A convenience sampling method was utilized to collect data through an online questionnaire targeting young adults aged 18 to 26. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation modeling to explore the relationships between various factors affecting vaccination intention. Results: The findings revealed that perceived susceptibility, perceived severity and perceived benefits have significant positive effects on attitudes toward the HPV vaccine. Subjective norms, attitude and perceived behavioral control positively influence the intention to receive the HPV vaccination. Attitude was identified as a significant mediator between these variables and intention to receive HPV vaccination. Discussion: This study highlights the need for targeted educational campaigns to improve young adults' HPV vaccine attitudes. Public health initiatives may potentially increase HPV vaccination rates.
