1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionCervical cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. Expanding HPV (Human papillomavirus) vaccination coverage to 90% of all adolescent girls by 2030 is the World Health Organization's (WHO) primary vaccination strategy to eliminate cervical cancer by the end of the century.

aimTo identify the main challenges associated with HPV vaccination in Brazil.

methodsA systematic review in accordance with the PRISMA reporting guidelines was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE Lilacs, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases, which included prospective and cross-sectional studies. Different term combinations were used: ((("HPV vaccination"[TITLE]) OR ("HPV vaccine"[TITLE]) OR ("HPV immunization"[TITLE]))) AND (Brazil); HPV vaccination AND Brazil; Barriers AND vaccination AND HPV AND Brazil; Barriers AND HPV vaccination AND Brazil. This study included published articles with no language or date restrictions.

resultsA total of 179 articles were identified. After deleting 50 duplicates, 78 articles were excluded based on their title or abstract, while 28 were excluded after full reading, thus leaving only 23 articles. Seven studies were carried out in the southeast region, one in the southern region, one in the midwest region, and two in the north region. Knowledge was the biggest problem detected among parents and guardians, health caregivers, health students, and general users of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS).

conclusionAll studies indicated that knowledge is essential for adherence. For students and health professionals, a more comprehensive approach to the topic would be beneficial in advancing their knowledge.
