Human Papillomavirus Vaccination by Country of Birth and Sex Among Adolescents Receiving Care in Community-Based Clinics.
Article in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually-transmitted infection that can lead to the development of multiple cancers, including those that disproportionately burden Latinos. However, it remains uncertain how ethnicity and country of birth relate to HPV vaccination among younger Latinos. Therefore, this study examines differences in HPV vaccine uptake among pediatric patients by ethnicity and country of birth.
methodsWe used data from OCHIN Epic electronic health records from United States community-based clinics in 27 states (2012-2022). This retrospective open cohort of patients included 250,462 females and 238,516 males aged 9-17 years. The main independent variable was ethnicity/country of birth: Latino/a (by country of birth) or non-Hispanic white. Outcomes included HPV vaccination initiation and completion, and analyzed using logistic regression adjusting for relevant covariates.
resultsRegardless of sex, all Latino/a groups had higher odds of vaccine initiation and completion compared to non-Hispanic white adolescents. Initiation prevalence ranged 44.4% and 40.8% in Non-Hispanic white girls and boys, to 78.7% for both Guatemalan-born and Salvadoran-born girls, and 79.3% in Guatemalan-born boys. The highest prevalence of completion was among Dominican-born girls (55.8%) and boys (56.5%), and the lowest was in non-Hispanic white girls (30.9%) and boys (25.4%).
conclusionThis study shows that among patients receiving care in community-based clinics, Latino adolescents, especially those who were foreign-born, had higher HPV vaccine initiation and completion compared to non-Hispanic white patients of the same age. Community strengths that might lead to increased vaccination rates should be examined and leveraged to design interventions across care settings.
