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

introductionThis project explores influenza and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine utilisation among a multi-ethnic group of youth (aged 11-23 years) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

methodUsing a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling, influenza vaccine utilisation over 3 years was assessed via questionnaire. Female participants also reported on HPV vaccine utilisation. Multinomial logistic regression was used to explore the factors associated with vaccine utilisation.

resultsIn the project sample, 16.7% of males and 14.7% of females had received the influenza vaccine each year. The lowest rates of influenza vaccination were reported by African/Middle Eastern/Latin American youth (8.3%), Indigenous youth (10.8%), and youth > 18 years (12.6%). For the HPV vaccine, 61.1% of females reported having received all doses, while 21.9% were unvaccinated. Rates of HPV vaccine utilisation were lowest among females of Asian origin, females aged 18-23 years, and females residing in Canada for < 5 years. DISCUSSION: Observed associations between age, ethnicity, and vaccine utilisation in this study highlight potential barriers and warrant further research to inform policymaking.
