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
Introduction: this study, conducted in Treichville health district in households of the district of Aliodan within the Anoumabo health area in Ivory Coast, aimed to identify the factors associated with parental refusal of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for girls aged 9 to 14 years. Methods: we conducted an analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collection. A univariate analysis was performed using Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests to compare variable groups. A stepwise descendant multivariate logistic regression was used to identify determinants of refusal at a significance level of p = 0.05. Results: a total of 181 respondents were interviewed, comprising 62.98% women and 37.02% men, with a sex ratio of 1.7. The average age was 41.43 ± 11.19 years. The rate of vaccine refusal was 22.10%, compared to 77.90% who did not refuse to vaccinate their children. The identified determinants of parental refusal included: having daughters enrolled in school (p=0.0003; Adjusted OR= 0.1932; 95% CI= [0.0795; 0.4693]), foreign ethnic origin (p=0.0106; Adjusted OR= 3.1636; 95% CI= [1.3079; 7.6523]), parents with no religious affiliation (p=0.0002; Adjusted OR= 8.4600; 95% CI= [0.7944; 3.9284]), difficulty accessing transportation (p=0.0111; Adjusted OR= 0.0534; 95% CI= [0.0056; 0.5120]), information sources limited to television or social media (p=0.0106; Adjusted OR= 0.1322; 95% CI= [0.0280; 0.624]). Conclusion: sociocultural and practical factors contributed to parental refusal of the HPV vaccine. This highlights the need to strengthen training for healthcare professionals and community leaders for effective mass awareness campaigns.
