Human papillomavirus awareness in a digital world: The intersection of faith and online media.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThis study examines the association between Human Papillomavirus (HPV) awareness and internet use, social media use, and trust in health information from religious leaders.
methodsWe analyzed national data, collected March-November 2022 in the U.S. The final sample included 3444 adults ages 18-65 years. The outcome was HPV awareness (being aware of both HPV and the HPV vaccine). Weighted chi square and multivariable logistics regression were used to assess the outcome and each predictor, including internet and social media use, trust in health information from religious leaders, and demographic factors.
resultsAmong respondents, 62.3 % were aware of HPV. Those who used the internet had higher odds of HPV awareness (aOR = 2.31, 95 %CI = 1.58,3.39), whereas those reporting perceived online health information from social media as accurate had lower odds of HPV awareness (aOR = 0.40, 95 %CI = 0.16,0.98). Social media use and trust in health information from religious leaders were not significantly associated with HPV awareness.
conclusionInternet use, but not social media use or trust in health information from religious leaders, may improve HPV awareness. This highlights the need for interventions to guide individuals find reliable sources online and for future research to assess accuracy of online HPV information to facilitate vaccination decisions.
