Frequency and factors associated with the preference for self-testing for human papillomavirus detection.
Article in Revista peruana de medicina experimental y salud publica, 2025. 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
backgroundMotivation for the study. Cervical screening is key to early detection of cancer, but its acceptability limits its implementation. It is essential to understand preferences for self-sampling to facilitate its implementation. Findings. Factors such as educational level, marital status, place of origin, religion, and knowledge are associated with a preference for self-sampling to detect human papillomavirus. Implications. Health authorities can use these findings to strengthen the promotion of self-sampling through educational campaigns focused on populations with factors that limit its acceptance, thereby improving screening coverage. OBJECTIVE.: To analyze the frequency and factors associated with self-sampling preference for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) in Peruvian women at a healthcare center, 2023-2024. MATERIALS AND METHODS.: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted. The sample consisted of 275 women aged 30 to 49 years who from the Rinconada Healthcare Center. The main variable was evaluated directly using a dichotomous question, which revealed the user's preference for this method of cervical sample collection for HPV detection. The instrument was a valid and reliable questionnaire. Multivariate statistics were used to find the associated factors. RESULTS.: We found that 75.6% of users prefer self-sampling for HPV detection. Adjusted analysis showed that higher education (RPa=1.28; 95% CI: 1.01-1.64) and secondary education (RPa=1.46; 95% CI: 1.11-1.92) increased the likelihood of preferring self-sampling; while cohabiting marital status (RPa=0.61; 95% CI: 0.44-0.83), being from the rest of the coast (RPa=0.70; 95% CI: 0.50-0.97), Catholic religion (RPa=0.84; 95% CI: 0.74-0.96) and having a higher quartile of knowledge about HPV (RPa=0.88; 95% CI: 0.71-0.95) reduced the likelihood of preferring self-sampling. CONCLUSION.: The frequency of preference for self-sampling for HPV detection is high and is associated with secondary/higher education, cohabitation, living on the coast except for the capital, being Catholic, and having a higher level of knowledge about HPV.
