HPV vaccination willingness and behavior among nursing female students in China based on the protection motivation theory: A cross-sectional study.

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
Female nursing students show high intention yet low uptake of HPV vaccination, which undermines cervical cancer prevention efforts. To examine the mechanisms influencing their vaccination behavior, this study developed and validated an intention-behavior transition model based on Protection Motivation Theory, thereby providing a theoretical foundation for designing targeted interventions and improving vaccination coverage. A total of 631 female nursing students from universities in Wuhan were selected by the convenience sampling method and were surveyed using a General Information Questionnaire, Protection Motivation Questionnaire, and HPV Vaccination Willingness and Behavior Questionnaire, and a structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 24.0 software. 69.3% of the 631 female nursing students had HPV vaccination intention, and 13.3% had vaccination behavior. The results of structural equation model fitting showed that threat appraisal significantly affected female nursing students' willingness to receive HPV vaccination (β = 0.209,
