Barriers to HPV vaccination among adolescent girls in India: A scoping review.
Review in The Indian journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background & objectives The aim of this scoping review is to systematically map the existing research on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination uptake among adolescent girls in India, with a focus on (i) identifying the current trends, and (ii) examining the challenges and facilitators of vaccine uptake. Methods The review adheres to the scoping review framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley. A thorough search of peer-reviewed literature was carried out utilizing databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Studies published between 2008 and 2025 were assessed for relevance. The socio-ecological model was used to chart and synthesize data, categorizing barriers and enablers at the individual, interpersonal, community, institutional, and policy levels. Results A total of 37 studies were included. Lack of awareness, sociocultural stigma, economic constraints, and insufficient assistance from the health system were highlighted as some of the main barriers. Government awareness initiatives, healthcare provider recommendations, and school-based interventions were found to facilitate HPV vaccination. Interpretation & conclusions Improving HPV vaccine uptake in India requires addressing multi-level barriers with integrated public health initiatives and policy interventions.
