Exceeding expectations: factors contributing to the potency of human papillomavirus vaccines.
Review in The Lancet. Microbe, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The commercial prophylactic vaccines for human papillomavirus (HPV) are subunit vaccines composed of spontaneously assembled virus-like particles formed from 360 copies of the L1 major virion protein. The vaccines have exceeded expectations in immunogenicity, clinical trials efficacy, and effectiveness in national immunisation programmes. Booster doses are not required to generate these outcomes. In this Review, we discuss the immunological and virological considerations that can help with explaining the high potency of HPV vaccines. These considerations provide biological plausibility for HPV vaccines being the first subunit vaccines to confer high-level, long-term protection after a single priming dose, support projections of eliminating vaccine-targeted types in populations with achievable coverage rates in adolescents, and offer insights for developing future antimicrobial vaccines.
